Is it time to schedule an appointment with a qualified skincare expert?
While most people know that they are supposed to visit the doctor at least once a year for their annual, many people don’t realize that they could also benefit from seeing a dermatologist once a year. From skin cancer screenings to treating acne, our dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth Fahrenbach offers a wide range of dermatology services here in Chicago, IL, to help support healthy skin, hair and nails in her patients. Wondering if you should visit the dermatologist?
It might be time to see a dermatologist if,
You notice changes in a mole
Most of us have multiple moles on our bodies and face. While most moles are benign some do have the ability to turn cancerous. If you’ve noticed a new mole cropping up or if one of your moles is changing shape, color or size it’s important that you turn to our Chicago, IL, dermatologist for a skin cancer evaluation. Even if you aren’t dealing with issues, you could still benefit from getting a skin cancer screening each year.
You are dealing with extremely dry or scaly skin
While we will all deal with dry, irritated skin at some point, if this is something that you deal with regularly then you may want to consult a skincare professional. After all, itchy dry skin that lasts for weeks could be a sign of eczema. Furthermore, if you notice scaly, rough red patches of skin on your body you could be dealing with psoriasis. Both of these skin problems are chronic and require treatment from a qualified expert.
You are having trouble controlling your acne
Acne isn’t just for those infamous teen years, even adults well into their 30s, 40s, and even 50s can battle awful breakouts. So, if you’ve tried just about every acne product under the sun and you’re still not seeing results, then a trip to our dermatology practice may be the answer. Our Chicago, IL, dermatologist can determine what’s causing your acne and how to effectively treat it.
You’re losing your hair
