TEL-OREN Tuesday, August 8, 2017 9:00 AM to 12 NOON 1105 Holley Court Oak Park, IL CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT YOUR SKIN CHECK CHECKLIST If caught early, skin cancer can be successfully treated, so checking your skin regularly is vital. Where to look To ensure your skin check is thorough, undress completely and stand in a good light. As you examine your skin, keep a record of the date and anything of note. Check: your torso (front, back and sides) arms, hands, palms and fingers, buttocks, legs and feet (including the soles), head, shoulders, scalp, neck and ears, face, including nose, lips, under the chin, and the skin between areas like fingers and toes and under toenails. When to seek help Make an appointment with an Ecopolitan Doctor if you notice: itching, flaking, bleeding, crusting, weeping, or ulceration of any spots since you last checked; new spots that are dry and scaly, pearly, pale red, black or dark brown, lumpy, or have uneven or smudgy outlines; freckles, birthmarks, or moles that have changed shape, size, or color (including darkening, lightening, or simply a variation or irregularity in pigmentation); a sore that doesn’t heal. Early detection The most dangerous skin cancer, melanoma, may appear brown, black red, pinkish, or flesh-toned and have asymmetric or smudgy borders. It’s often curable if found early before it has grown deeper into the dermis of the skin and spread. Squamous cell carcinoma often presents as a thickened, scaly spot which grows over some months and may later bleed or ulcerate, while basal cell carcinoma, the most common but least dangerous form of skin cancer, is usually a small lumpy or scaly area of skin that appears red, pale or pearly. As it grows it may become ulcerated. Remember: Quick detection is critical to stopping a small skin cancer from spreading to other parts of your body. The cure rate for melanoma treated in its early stages is over 90%, and the cure rate for other skin cancers detected early is close to 100%. Use the ABCD of melanoma detection to check for: • Asymmetry: If the spot or lesion is divided in half, the two halves are not a mirror image. • Border: A spot with a spreading or irregular edge. • Color: A spot with a number of different colors through it. • Diameter: A spot that is growing and changing in diameter or size.
