Shielding Your Skin, Unmasking Your Future: The Importance of Skin Cancer Screening at Harper Health

Welcome to the blog of Dr. Harper's concierge medical practice, Harper Health in Chicago, IL where we prioritize you and your health needs. Today, we explore how you can take personal steps for better health via our skin cancer screening service.

An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, and it’s also one of the most preventable. Early detection is critical for successful treatment, making skin cancer screenings an essential part of your healthcare routine.

Harper Health’s Skin Cancer Screening Service

At Harper Health, we provide professional, thorough, and comfortable skin cancer screenings. This service allows for early detection and treatment planning, should there be any causes for concern. Our screenings encompass a comprehensive exam of your skin and a discussion on personal history, lifestyle and habits that might increase your risk of developing skin cancer.

Five-Minute Skin Check – A Lifesaver

A skin self-examination is a simple process you can perform at home regularly to recognize any changes in your skin. This habit can greatly augment our professional screening efforts, potentially saving your life by recognizing early warning signs. Nonetheless, this doesn't replace the necessity of an in-office screening due to the complexity of skin cancer.

Be Alert, Stay Informed

Knowing your body is your first line of defense. Stay alert to changes such as new moles, sores, redness, or scaliness, especially in sun-exposed areas. Coupled with regular skin cancer screenings at Harper Health, you could save your life or the lives of those you love.

Your Health - A Collective Responsibility

Whilst we at Harper Health are committed to providing you with the best preventive care, it is imperative that you play an active role in your healthcare. Regularly performing self-checks and scheduling annual skin screenings could make a significant difference in your life.

Dr. Harper and the Harper Health team in Chicago and Florida invite you to value your skin and your health via our superior skin cancer screening services. Early detection can lead to successful treatment. So, take that step for you, for your health, for your future. Shield your skin and unmask a future of great health with Harper Health.
