💜 World Psoriasis Day | October 29 Psoriasis is more than a skin condition. It’s a chronic, immune-mediated disease that can affect the skin, nails, joints, and overall quality of life. Although psoriasis looks different from person to person, its impact can extend far beyond what is visible. With the right treatment and ongoing care, symptoms can be managed and quality of life improved. Today, we’re raising awareness, challenging misconceptions, and supporting everyone living with psoriasis. 💜 Living with psoriasis? You don’t have to navigate it alone. Speak with your healthcare provider about your symptoms, treatment options, and ways to support your skin health. #WorldPsoriasisDay #PsoriasisAwareness #LovegroveDermatology

The ABCDE’s of Melanoma As a dermatology clinic, our mission is to empower you to notice early warning signs of melanoma - because catching it early can save lives. A trusted framework we use is the ABCDE mnemonic: A – Asymmetry: If one half of the mole doesn’t mirror the other, it raises concern. B – Border irregularity: The spot has an irregular or poorly defined border. C – Colour variation: The spot has multiple colours including brown, black or unusual colours like white, red or blue. D – Diameter: Most melanomas are bigger than 6mm or the width of a pencil eraser when diagnosed (but can be smaller). E – Evolving: The spot is changing over time, especially rapidly within weeks or months. We also emphasize the “Ugly Duckling” sign: a mole or lesion that looks noticeably different from the rest of your moles (even if it doesn’t meet all ABCDE criteria) should also be evaluated promptly. Why this matters: Melanoma accounts for thousands of new cases annually in Canada, and survival rates are dramatically higher when detection occurs early. Medical dermatology appointments at Lovegrove Dermatology are by REFERRAL ONLY. #lovegrovedermatology #skincancerawareness #melanomaawareness #ABCDEsofmelanoma
