Know Your Skin Cancer ABCs


pexels-rfstudio-3618606.jpg

Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the US. Thankfully, many times it can be treated and cured. Screening for skin cancer is also something you can do at home if you can’t make it to the doctor for a yearly skin check (make sure someone looks at your back for you). 

But first, what are the risk factors for developing skin cancer?

Skin Cancer Risk Factors

There are two main categories when it comes to skin cancer risk factors: genetics and sun exposure. Like many cancers, family history can inform you to be a little more cautious when in the sun and when screening. Additionally, if you spend a lot of time in the sun (for work or play) you will want to pay close attention to your skin as you age. 

If you answer yes to one or more of these questions, you may have a higher risk of developing skin cancer than others:

  • Do you have a lighter skin tone?

  • Do you burn or freckle easily?

  • Do you have a lot of moles?

  • Do you have blonde or red hair?Do you have a family history of skin cancer?

  • Do you spend a lot of time in the sun for your job (farming, landscaping, etc) or for fun (beach, boating, lake, running)?

  • Do you use tanning beds or have you used them in the past?

Skin Cancer Types 

Once you’ve identified any risk factors, you can take control of your skin cancer screening and what to look for. There are three main types of skin cancer: squamous cell, basal cell, and melanoma. Melanoma is the least common but also the most dangerous as it can spread to other areas. 

According to the American Cancer Society, basal cell carcinoma is the most common – accounting for 80% of all skin cancers. Basal cell carcinoma tends to develop on sun-exposed areas such as the face, neck, and head. Basal cell carcinomas are usually easily treated and slow-growing. 

Squamous cell carcinoma is less common and also tends to show up on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, and head. Squamous cell carcinoma can also appear on the ears, lips, and even in scarred areas. 

Melanoma is the least common of the skin cancers but has a greater risk of spreading. This makes melanoma really important to identify and treat early. Melanoma skin cancers tend to show up on the chest or back rather than the face or head. 

ABCDEs of Melanoma

But what do you look for when doing a skin check for melanoma? Looking for the ABCDEs of melanoma is an easy way to check out a mole and see if you need to see your dermatologist.

Asymmetry

Rather than a nice circular or oval mole, cancerous moles tend to have asymmetry. This means one side doesn’t match the other, making it look more like an unusual shape versus a circle. 

Border

Melanoma lesions tend to have irregular borders too. They may have rough or bumpy edges. Noncancerous moles have smooth, matching edges and borders. 

Color

If you see a mole that has multiple colors (different shades of brown, tan, black) then this is one you should get checked out by your dermatologist. Noncancerous moles are usually all one color. 

Diameter

You want to check out the size of the mole too. If it’s larger than 6mm (or roughly the size of a pencil eraser) you want to keep an eye on it. 

Evolution

Noncancerous moles tend to form and stay the same shape, size, and color. If you notice a mole changing in any way – you should probably get this one evaluated to make sure its noncancerous. 

Take Charge of Your Skin Cancer Screening

It may seem like a lot to do when doing a skin check, and can even be scary if you find something you’re unsure about. Always remember if you don’t know if a mole is worrisome or not – getting it evaluated by a healthcare provider is the best next step. They can evaluate the area, maybe take a biopsy to look at the area under a microscope, and come up with a plan.

Many skin cancers are curable when found early, this is why doing yearly skin checks is important to catch any suspicious areas. If you still have questions on what to look for – reach out to your healthcare provider or dermatologist today!

Flashback Journal Archives - How New Parent Consumerism Blurs the Line Between Tools and Things (I also discuss adding a new niche!)

women-3118387_1920.jpg

“Two things we’re told we should be doing in quarantine/pandemic 2020:

Clean out our closet/kitchen/house

And

Fight the materialistic societal agenda once we reemerge from our bomb shelters.

I get it. Materialism is pervasive and has been intertwined into the fabric of our society since the Great Depression ended and credit was invented.

Not only this, but Keeping up with the Jones’ is now replaced with the keeping up with the curated ads shoved in your face 24/7.

Did you know your personal data is collected and then targeted on literally everything online? Your age, gender, sex, purchasing habits, job, salary – so much of what makes you you is being used to target, well, you. Companies collect this data, and sell them in batches to marketers.

You are no longer a faceless IP address.

You’re Sera, age 25, hetero, single, accountant making $50k/yr, likes fitness and animals, and spends a fair amount of time watching makeup tutorials on TikTok, Youtube, and IG.

You are then batched with other people in your category and then sold to agencies who wish to target you for their latest make up brush, dog treat, or Hinge app.

Fun, right? Gives you a nice case of the warm and watched…

Government officials are starting to realize this isn’t always the best thing and collecting this data isn’t always for the most altruistic motives.

California passed legislation earlier this year to try and reduce how pervasive our devices can be. Their new law used Europe’s GDPR as a template to bolster user privacy and user rights when visiting sites, apps, etc. Essentially giving users more power to decide what information is store, collected, and sold.

On one hand, it’s creepy to talk or text about a certain outfit, car, or problem and then see that exact item advertised on every platform you frequent. One the other, it’s nice to have targeted ads providing ‘solutions’ to all of my problems instantaneously. 

I’m now convinced there isn’t a more captive audience than new parents. The stressors, unknowns, fears, and crippling anxiety is a dream for marketers. 

Marketers target pain points. I target pain points in my writing. Targeting pain points highlight a solution and answer to a problem you may or may not have known you had.

Who on earth has more pain than a person with a newborn? Who has more issues or concerns or questions than sleep-deprived parents?

This creates a quandary between consumerism to assist and consumerism to appease

I definitely needed a Boppy pillow for breastfeeding. I’m not sure I needed 6 different baby-wearing devices (especially since we don’t go anywhere with her thanks to COVID). I needed gas drops and teething rings for my crying baby. I’m not sure I needed 20 different onesies or to buy as many tree-themed decorations to go with my tree-themed nursery.

An anything-themed nursery is arguably not needed either...but I digress.

I tried my best to reduce the collectionsim (yes, I’m saying that is a word) before my daughter was born. Not sure if I succeeded or not, I’m sure that is entirely relative. And now, here I am in a new era of post-partum-current-pandemic collectionism. 

minimal-923194_1920.jpg

Here I am. Nearly 3 ½ months postpartum. With a baby who has existed more than half her life in quarantine at this point. Here I am, looking at stuff.

Why do we have stuff? Why do we collect stuff? Why do we hate stuff?

For me, the stuff around me these days serves as part of my journey now more than ever. So as I reflect on the last six months – the stuff around me tells a story.

A story of pregnancy. A story of postpartum. A story of my infant turned newborn. Or newborn turned infant...I still don’t know the exact order.

My stuff tells a story.

My story.

Why do we hate stuff? Because we collect too much stuff? Stuff takes up too much space? We are trying to impersonate someone else’s story? Stuff puts us into uncontrollable debt?

As someone who strives to live with slightly less than most, consumerism has been on the front of my mind since I became pregnant and started my registry. I wanted as many multi-use things as I could get. 

I know I purchased or registered for more than the most efficient minimalist, but I tried my best.

As a mom in quarantine, it’s hard to see progress in myself. I have no real identity other than ‘mom’ right now. I quit my job as a nurse practitioner (pre-COVID) so I don’t even have that to fall back onto. I can’t work out because the gyms are closed. I can’t see friends because, well, quarantine.

So I look to the things in my home as signs of progress.

When I was pregnant, the things surrounding me were much in survival mode. Things helped me survive from the moment I woke up to the time I attempted to go to sleep.

I had Tums next to my bed, next to my couch, in my kitchen, in my office drawer, and in my purse.

I had Zofran (anti-nausea medication) and towards the end, I also had Fioricet and Phenergan (anti-migraine medications).

I surrounded myself with Miralax and magnesium to help with constipation. I took prenatal vitamins as much as I could remember. I also took Unisom to help me sleep. 

I slathered my belly and hips with ‘belly butter’ to reduce the itching of my stretching skin.

I slept with 4 pillows – two under my head, a long one between my legs, and one between my arms. This was to help support my back, aching hips, and tight psoas muscles as pregnancy dragged on.

My fridge was full of orange juice and my freezer full of waffles to satiate my cravings and calm my nausea.

I used a warm rice bag on my neck and an ice pack on my forehead to try and remedy my headaches.

Those are all things – or tools – of my pregnancy. If we were suddenly nuked – archeologists would dig up our home and yes “hmmm, yes, this Homosapien was clearly in her 3rd trimester of childbearing as evidence of all of her shit”.

Now, all of those things are gone.

Once I emerged into postpartum, my stuff took a 180.

Zofran and Fiorecet were replaced with Tylenol and Motrin for my perineal tear and breast pain. 

Ice packs were replaced with blood pressure medicine for my headache.

Nipple cream and Tucks pads replaced belly butters.

Perineal spray and Sitz baths replaced the need for laxatives.

And a newborn baby replaced any need to try and find comfort for sleep from pillows or Unisom.

It’s been a fascinating still life of things. Things change as progress is made. Since I can’t go out and I haven’t started working at my new job yet – it’s kind of hard to track change. 

lavender-3397287_1920.jpg

But it’s happening.

Those first few weeks, I had my rental breast pump next to the couch. I had pillows and blankets – chapstick and coffee for the many hours spent feeding and pumping. My sink was full of pump parts and bottles. My nightstand had a little changing station full of wipes, diapers, snack for me, water bottle, wet bag, and burp cloths for the multiple wake-ups each night.

I wore giant pads and Tucks pads. I only wore comfy PJ pants and nursing camisoles. 

My baby slept in a bassinet, or in my arms, and sometimes even a laundry basket.

For better or worse we live in a world of instant consumerism. Push button, receive bacon. Thanks to Amazon, Grubhub, Ubereats, and FedEx - we can give nearly anything within hours

I didn’t know NB (newborn) was a size of clothes, I thought ‘0-3 months’ was what babies started in. I didn’t realize until we got home that all the clothes we had except for 2-3 onesies were way too big for my five-pound baby. So I made the Amazon Prime purchase to obtain the tiniest white newborn onesies I never knew could exist and they arrived by lunchtime the next day.

She was still too small for them at first. But she eventually grew into them. Just like she grew into the newborn diapers, little hats, and swaddles.

I swear we wrapped the swaddle around her 4 times for the first month to make it snug. 

Burp cloths, baby clothes, plastic breast pump equipment littered the bedroom, living room, and kitchen…”

Above is an excerpt from my life in March 2020 during Pandemic 2020, Postpartum 2020, Life 2020. I have a habit of using Google Docs to quickly journal

I have a draw to shift into e-commerce to understand what makes the stuff around us useful, special, invaluable. Maybe having a baby made me more interested in the stuff around me. Maybe I see the value in things beyond services.

I also want to know when stuff becomes too much, excessive, problematic, and cluttering.

Where is the line between reasonable and exorbitant? 

Where is the happy medium in life of providing services and goods?

What would you like to learn more about – in the consumer world we live in? The options are truly endless.

Stuff to satiate every sense.

Where would you like the line between adequate and additional to be?

What if You Get COVID-19? And No - the answer isn't more toilet paper

Disclaimer: I am a healthcare provider, but I am not YOUR healthcare provider. This post is not meant to replace the guidance of your healthcare provider. If you or someone in your family has COVID-19, reaching out to your healthcare provider immediately is the safest action you can take.

So there you are. Sitting on your throne of toilet paper – doing your best to be socially distant. Doing your best to stay away from being exposed to the coronavirus (COVID-19). 

But the truth of the matter is – some of us will be using that toilet paper as we self-quarantine for two weeks after being exposed. The truth of the matter is – some of us will get COVID-19. 

I don’t mean to add to the fear-mongering and scare tactics. I mean to disarm this panic-causing virus and help you find ways to prepare to take care of yourself if need be. Thankfully COVID-19 isn’t a virus in a Stephen King novel. COVID-19 doesn’t turn you into a zombie and by in large, is not lethal in most of the world’s population. 

You’ve prepared to stay at home for a few weeks. You’ve prepared to disinfect. You’ve prepared for explosive diarrhea. But have you prepared for potentially getting COVID-19?

You’ll Most Likely Survive COVID-19 If You Get It

The good news – actually freaking great news – is most people are surviving if they get COVID-19. Yes, many people are getting very sick and have to get specialized care in hospitals. Italy has effectively run out of ventilators to treat people so I’m not trying to downplay the severity of the virus. 

Some people are dying – but for the most part – people are surviving COVID-19 and experiencing what is described as mild symptoms. The World Health Organization (WHO) is reporting about one in every five infected people need care in a hospital setting, which means 80% of people who get COVID-19 can be treated at home. 

But even mild symptoms of COVID are still considered flu-like. I’m not sure about you, but I’ve never known anyone to feel like the flu was mild. The flu sucks. The flu levels you – and can leave you feeling like crap for up to two weeks. But most people don’t have to be in the hospital to treat the flu. The ones who usually do are elderly, have other health problems, smoke, or have compromised immune systems. And guess which population of people who get COVID-19 eventually need care in a hospital? Those who are elderly, have other health problems, smoke, or have compromised immune systems...

Many people are being evaluated and advised to manage their symptoms at home. So as you sit there with Charmin as lumbar support and an ottoman made of Scott’s – let’s talk about how you can prepare to get COVID-19.

And I promise it isn’t to buy more paper products.

Does Your Insurance Cover Telehealth? 


Telehealth keeps you safe by preventing potential exposure to others by going to the clinic, urgent care, or hospital. 


Telehealth keeps others safe by not exposing them to you if you have COVID-19.


Telehealth keeps your healthcare providers and workers safe by not exposing them to potential COVID-19 and reducing the number of patients coming in and out of healthcare facilities.

Healthcare professionals have a long road ahead of them and any effort we can do as the public to reduce their fatigue, stress, and potential exposure helps us all. 


President Trump just announced more is being done to allow telehealth services to be accessed by Americans. This is great news amidst a global pandemic. But if you’re like most Americans – you’ve probably never used telehealth before. 


Telehealth encompasses several digital options to provide healthcare services. Web-based tools, patient portal messaging, video-conferencing, and old-fashioned phone calls are ways healthcare providers can assess and advise patients remotely.


If you’ve never used teleheath services you may not know if your insurance covers them. So you can start by going to your insurance carrier’s website to see if they cover telehealth. If they do – awesome! Now you have to find out if your primary care provider has telehealth services. If they don’t, your healthcare provider may still want to manage your care over the phone.


Many major healthcare systems offer some sort of telehealth which can typically be found by going to their main webpage. Smaller clinics may not have these services in place – but they will most likely have a new protocol in place with COVID-19 spreading.


Bottom line is if you think you have COVID-19, the first thing you need to do is call your healthcare provider or 911 if you have life-threatening symptoms. They will advise you on what to do next. Not everyone can use telehealth due to their risk factors and not all places offer telehealth services. But by calling and talking to someone about your specific symptoms and situation – they can determine if your illness, COVID-19 or otherwise, can be safely managed at home.


Fever Management


Fever is one of the hallmark symptoms of COVID-19. One of the most common over the counter treatments for fevers is acetaminophen, better known as Tylenol. If you have COVID-19, your healthcare provider may advise you take Tylenol to break your fever and reduce body aches.


Do not go buy seven boxes of Tylenol. 


There is a daily limit on Tylenol or you will go into liver failure. That limit is 4,000mg for someone with a fully functioning organ system. 4,000mg would be 12 tablets of 500mg Tylenol a day. So (ugh, public math) if you had a fever for a full week, you’d only safely be able to take 84 tablets. I think most bottles of Tylenol are around 100 tablets – so I repeat – do not go buy all the Tylenol. You can’t safely take all of it and you’ll prevent someone else from finding relief. 


Respiratory Management


Dry cough is listed as one of the top symptoms of COVID-19. Your healthcare provider may tell you to take certain medications to treat your cough. There are many ways to treat a cough, what is your go-to? Is it Robitussin? Mucinex? Maybe it’s herbal supplements, drinking hot tea with honey, or good ol’ fashioned whiskey to soothe your throat. Essential oils, vitamins, and food are all ways people treat a cough.


Whatever you would normally do to treat a nagging, hacking, cough – try and have some of that on hand. Create your own adventure by talking to your healthcare provider. Again, don’t buy all the Robitussin like you’re preparing for a Lil Wayne concert. You don’t need all of it. You just need enough to treat a 10-14 day respiratory illness – which is what COVID-19 is. 


If you have asthma or COPD you want to make sure your inhalers and nebulizer treatments are up to date. If not, call your healthcare provider and ask them to call in a refill. You most likely don’t need to go into the office for the refill and use the drive-through pharmacy pick up. If you have sleep apnea and require distilled water for your machine – make sure you have enough at home. 


Using a humidifier can also help reduce a nagging cough, so pull yours out of the closet and make sure it’s clean. If you don’t have one, just take a long hot shower and allow the steam to soothe. 


Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate


Staying well-hydrated is really important when you’re sick. Your body is working overtime and literally sweatin’ to fight COVID-19. When a fever breaks, you sweat and you may sweat a lot. And that water loss adds up.


Whether it’s water, Smart Water, Gatorade, or some other hydrating fluid (not booze, ahem) – grab some of your favorite hydrating tools as you’ll probably be advised to ‘increase fluids’. I won’t tell you to drink a certain amount, but most of us are walking around dehydrated. So if you have COVID-19, you’ll probably be advised to increase your fluids to help you feel better and heal faster.

Supportive Care Measures


Supportive care measures are just as they sound. They support in providing care for you. These are usually highly personal things and comfort means something different for each of us.


Does homemade chicken noodle soup bring you comfort? Maybe it’s matzo ball soup. Perhaps it’s a sleeve (or box) of saltine crackers, fudge brownies, or macaroni and cheese. And what better time to make some homemade comfort foods than when you’re sequestered at home?

 

You finally have time to make that chicken stock or bone broth from scratch. You can make those homemade noodles or slow-roasted beef stew. Make your favorite comfort foods. Pull out those cookbooks, pull up those pinned recipes you never had the time to make before. If you’ve decided not to go out, or what’s left to get isn’t very much, get creative in your ingredients. Play around with substitutions. Maybe you’ll create something amazing in the midst of COVID-19 chaos.


In addition to food, maybe make some homemade bubble bath or bath bombs (I have no idea how, but I’m sure Pinterest does). If you don’t have a heating pad but you have fabric and some rice – make your own rice heating packs.


Making meals to freeze them and making homemade comfort items will help prepare you to feel a little better if you get COVID-19. It also gives you something to do with all that time at home when you run out of shows on Netflix.


Working Together to Treat COVID-19


Hopefully, social distancing will keep many of us safe. But COIVD-19 is in 49 of 50 states as of this morning so chances are, it will be in our communities if it’s not already. 


It’s scary to think some of us will get this brand new disease. It’s scary because we don’t know what COVID-19 looks like when someone we love gets it. But by being prepared for what you may be advised to do can help reduce some anxiety. Utilizing telehealth and having a few things on hand at home can help you start to feel better faster and reduce exposing others.


Remember, most people survive COVID-19.  Also remember, most people are surviving by treating themselves at home with the guidance of healthcare providers remotely. 


It’s up to us to stay calm and call, text, email, use that portal or webpage to reach your faithful healthcare providers. They’re waiting to help. They’re tirelessly working to keep our country and world safe. The least we can do is take control of what we can to tackle COVID-19 together.


Disclaimer: I am a healthcare provider, but I am not YOUR healthcare provider. This post is not meant to replace the guidance of your healthcare provider. If you or someone in your family has COVID-19, reaching out to your healthcare provider immediately is the safest action you can take.

5 Easy Online Marketing Tools to Increase Your Healthcare Business

blur-electronics-girl-hands-363766.jpg

As we jump into a new decade, goal setting is bound to occur. Personal goals, health goals, family goals – business goals. You’ve had a great year! You made amazing strides in your healthcare business. Gaining clients, contracts, and traction – 2020 is looking promising. 

Online marketing for your healthcare business is a great way to launch your success even further this year. We all know people use the internet to find the answers to nearly everything – including healthcare. Whether you provide a patient service or provide consulting tools to healthcare organizations – here are five ways you can improve your healthcare business marketing online. 

#1 Create a Stellar Website

You need an amazing website to showcase your services. Your website should be clear and concise – making it easy for people to instantly know what you offer and why they need you. 

Not only does your web content need to be informative and digestible – your web content needs to be easily found. And how do people find websites? Google.

Google is constantly changing how they analyze webpages. They’re even utilizing AI tools to crawl and rank websites. What does this mean for you and your healthcare business? It means quality over everything right now. 

Quality content on your healthcare business website consists of valuable information, often touching on many topics. Quality content uses SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques to show you’re the expert on a specific topic. Quality content engages the reader – rather than boring or tricking them which leads to lower a bounce back rating (a measure of how often a reader comes to your page and quickly leaves). Google looks at these bounce back ratings and uses them to rank how valuable and relevant your webpage is. 

Quality content adds value. 

Valuable sites rank higher on Google.

Higher rankings mean clients find you – wouldn’t that be nice?

#2 Write Content Rich Blogs – Often!

A great way to cultivate your healthcare business website content is to post regular blogs or articles. By updating your site frequently with blog posts, this shows Google you are relevant. You have so much to share and contribute! Consistent blog posting equals value and valuable sites do what? Say it with me now...rank higher on Google. 

Blogs are great because they allow you to touch on many different topics. Whether you own a private medical practice and discuss primary care concerns or run a consulting business specializing in the latest technology – covering a lot of themes around a topic increases your website’s value.

For example – if you sell running shoes, you can only talk about shoes for so long, right? Google knows this – so filling your website with your one keyword of RUNNING SHOES will only take you so far. So what do you do? You talk about relevant issues surrounding running shoes, targeting your ideal shoe-buying customer:

Tips for cold weather running. How to get the most out of your running routine. Nutrition tips to get the most out of your marathon training. Best running accessories for your favorite runner this holiday season. How to train for a 5k.

You get the idea. People who wear running shoes, don’t only care about running shoes. They wear running shoes to run. So by addressing their overall needs – AKA addressing questions they’re likely to type into a Google search box – helps them find you and your business. 

Writing consistent blog posts (ideally 2 per month) and writing longer posts – over 1000 words per post – will help you cultivate a valuable, content and SEO rich healthcare website. 

#3 Convert with Landing Pages

Landing pages help you increase your traffic by directly driving clients to your website. Landing pages are used to generate leads and hopefully conversions – whatever that looks like for your healthcare business. Conversions may be obtaining new patients or clients, selling a product or membership, or simply building your network. 

The key about landing pages is to make sure you deliver what you’ve pitched – whatever you promised in your ad, post, or email – must be reflected on the landing page. The simpler the better! Your landing page cuts through the small talk and gets right to your call to action. Oftentimes using the exact same wording in your ad and landing page can lead to more conversions. 

If your landing page doesn’t reflect what you’re promising or only delivers on part of it, this can increase your bounce back rating. And a higher bounce back rating translates to a lower value to Google. 

Another nice thing about landing pages is that they’re easy to track for success, making it easy to see how effective they are. By seeing the increase in your conversions can help you know you’re on the right track! Landing pages are also great ways to obtain contact information from clients, which can be helpful when building email sequences. 

#4 Build Rapport With Email 

Emails! Yes people still email and yes emails still work! Creating a successful email sequence helps you build rapport with your client – something people look for before buying a product or hiring a provider. 

Email sequences can also help educate or provide a free service to your clients, allowing them to see what you offer without commitment. By creating a nurturing email sequence, you can passively build a relationship with endless prospective clients. 

Another benefit of emails is they help maintain relationships with existing clients. By sending out educational or informational emails (in a non-annoying way of course!) you remain relevant to your clients. This can turn into repeat clients as well as increasing your referral base making your marketing life easier. 

#5 Hire a Healthcare Copywriter

Ok, now you know what you need to do in order to streamline and increase your online marketing – but where’s the time to do them? The great thing is once you have a system going with great website content, blogs, and emails – you’re healthcare business marketing can essentially run on auto-pilot!
