☀️ Acne and sunshine aren't always the perfect match.

Many people notice their skin seems clearer after spending time in the sun, but that improvement is often temporary. UV exposure can dry out the skin, causing it to produce more oil to compensate—which may lead to clogged pores and future breakouts.

🌞 The sun can also leave behind unwanted reminders, including dark acne marks, uneven skin tone, and premature skin aging.

One of the best things you can do for acne-prone skin? Wear sunscreen every day. We recommend a mineral-based sunscreen that helps protect your skin from UV damage while being gentle on sensitive and acne-prone complexions. 🧴✨

Need help finding the right sunscreen or building an acne-friendly skincare routine? Our board-certified dermatologists are here to help!

✨ Healthy skin starts with healthy habits! ✨

Looking to improve your skincare routine? Here are 4 simple habits that can make a big difference:

🫧 Wash your face every morning and night—especially before bed to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.

☀️ Wear sunscreen every day and remember to reapply throughout the day. Daily sun protection helps prevent premature aging and reduces your risk of sun damage.

💧 Stay hydrated! Drinking plenty of water helps support healthy skin. Dry skin can make fine lines and wrinkles appear more noticeable.

🧴 Use a nourishing moisturizer to help keep your skin hydrated and support the skin's natural healing process, including post-acne marks.

Not sure where to start? Building a skincare routine doesn't have to be complicated! If you or a loved one need help creating a personalized skincare regimen, our board-certified dermatologists are here to help.

As Skin Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to encourage everyone to schedule their yearly mole check. ☀️🩺

Skin cancer is very treatable when caught early — and routine skin exams can help detect concerning spots before they become more serious.

Here are 5 lesser-known facts about skin cancer:
🧊 1. Skin cancer can develop in places that rarely see the sun, including the scalp, bottoms of the feet, under nails, and even between toes.
👀 2. Melanoma is not always dark brown or black — some skin cancers can appear pink, red, clear, or skin-colored.
📱 3. Taking photos of your moles over time can help you notice subtle changes earlier.
☁️ 4. Up to 80% of UV rays can still pe*****te through clouds, meaning sun damage can happen even on overcast days.
🧬 5. Having just one blistering sunburn during childhood or adolescence can nearly double your risk of developing melanoma later in life.

If you or a loved one need to schedule a full body mole check, call today to schedule with one of our board-certified dermatologists at Chicago Skin Clinic. 📞 773-286-8111

☀️ Spring & summer skincare reminder! ☀️🌼

Some skincare ingredients can make your skin extra sensitive in the sun — especially benzoyl peroxide, AHAs/BHAs, and retinoids. While these ingredients can be great for acne, texture, and anti-aging, using them improperly during sunnier months may increase irritation, dryness, redness, and risk of sunburn. 🌞

📍 Benzoyl Peroxide

-Can make your skin more dry and irritated in the heat
-May increase redness and sensitivity after sun exposure
-Sunburned skin + benzoyl peroxide can lead to peeling and discomfort

🍋 AHAs/BHAs (Exfoliating Acids)

-Exfoliate the top layer of skin, making it more vulnerable to UV rays
-Increase risk of sunburn and hyperpigmentation
-Can cause stinging, redness, and irritation when combined with sun exposure

🌙 Retinoids

-Increase skin cell turnover, leaving fresh skin more sensitive to sunlight
-Can worsen dryness and peeling in sunny weather
-Higher chance of irritation and sunburn without proper SPF protection

🧢 Always wear broad-spectrum SPF, reapply throughout the day, and ask your dermatologist how to safely use these ingredients during the summer months!

If you or a loved one need help formatting your skincare routine for the spring/summertime, call today to schedule with one of our board-certified dermatologists at Chicago Skin Clinic! 🌸✨

🧬 At Chicago Skin Clinic, we are proud to offer Mohs surgery! 🧬

Mohs is a life-changing procedure that combines precision, effectiveness, and excellent cosmetic outcomes—all in one treatment approach.

Mohs surgery is a highly specialized, tissue-sparing procedure used to treat certain types of skin cancer. It involves removing thin layers of cancerous tissue one at a time and examining them under a microscope in real time until all cancer cells are fully cleared. This approach allows for complete removal of the cancer while preserving as much healthy surrounding skin as possible, with cure rates reaching up to 99% for many common skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma 💛

If you or a loved one would like to learn more about Mohs surgery or any of our dermatologic services, call us today at 773-286-8111 ☀️📞

A common question we get asked is… when should I schedule an appointment with a dermatologist? 🤔💛

In general, we recommend a full body mole check every 6–12 months to stay on top of your skin health ☀️

But we also hear:
“When is my acne bad enough?”
“How much hair loss is too much?”
“Should I get this rash or eczema checked out?”

Here’s the truth—there is no “right time” based on how severe something looks. In dermatology, we welcome you at any stage 💛 You don’t have to wait for things to “get worse” or feel like it needs to look a certain way before seeking care.

If something feels off, new, changing, or simply concerning to you, it’s always worth having a professional take a look. Peace of mind is just as important as treatment.
