When it comes to your skin, sometimes over-the-counter skincare just doesn’t cut it. That’s where dermatologists in Australia come in — they’re trained experts in all things skin health, hair loss, and nail disorders. Whether it’s a persistent breakout or a strange new spot, dermatologists can diagnose, treat, and help you manage a wide range of skin conditions.
Here are the top 10 skin issues dermatologists see in their clinics every day — and how they can help you tackle them.
Let’s be honest — acne isn’t just a teenage problem. Adult acne is on the rise and can be hormonal, menopause, stress-related, or even caused by using the wrong skincare products. Dermatologists treat acne with personalised plans that include prescription acne creams, oral medications, chemical peels, or laser acne treatments.
Itchy, red, and inflamed skin that just won’t quit? That could be eczema, a chronic condition that often starts in childhood but can flare up at any age. It’s especially common in Australia due to our dry climate.
This autoimmune skin disease causes thick, scaly patches on areas like the elbows, knees, and scalp. It can be mild or severe, and it often requires long-term management with help from a dermatologist for psoriasis.
Redness, flushing, visible blood vessels, and acne-like bumps? That’s rosacea. Common in adults over 30, rosacea can be triggered by sun, heat, spicy food, and even stress.
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. From basal cell carcinoma to melanoma, dermatologists are trained to spot early signs through skin checks and provide safe, effective skin cancer treatment.
Warts, caused by the HPV virus, can appear on the hands, feet, or elsewhere. While they often go away on their own, many people turn to a skin specialist for faster wart removal.
This includes contact dermatitis (caused by allergens or irritants) and seborrheic dermatitis (like dandruff and flakey skin). Both can be persistent and uncomfortable but are easily treated by a dermatologist.
Losing hair? Whether it’s androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) or alopecia areata (autoimmune), dermatologists can diagnose the cause and offer effective treatment options.
Common fungal infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, and yeast infections can show up on the skin, scalp, or nails. A dermatologist can provide accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Uneven skin tone, dark spots, or melasma are some of the most common skin concerns — especially in sunny climates. Dermatologists can help with pigmentation treatments that actually work.
If your skin condition isn’t improving with over-the-counter products, or it’s affecting your quality of life, it’s time to see a professional. Dermatologists tailor your treatment based on your skin type, lifestyle, and goals. They are specialists and have been trained in the care and treatment of skin, hair and nails.
Pro tip: Australians are encouraged to have an annual skin check, especially if they have fair skin or a history of sun exposure.
Skin health isn’t just about looking good — it’s about feeling comfortable, staying healthy, and preventing serious issues like skin cancer. If you’re dealing with any of the concerns above, don’t wait.
