Conditions

We assess and manage:

• All rashes of infancy and childhood, including atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis
• Birthmarks, including port wine stains
• Haemangiomas
• Genetic skin conditions, including ichthyoses, epidermolysis bullosa and neurocutaneous disorders
• Hair and nail disorders
• Moles in children
• Skin infections
• Skin allergies including patch testing for allergic contact dermatitis
• Excessive sweating, with Medicare rebate for botulinum toxin injections for underarm sweating
• Adolescent dermatology, including acne

We offer pulsed dye vascular laser (Candela V Beam Prima) to infants and children with a range of vascular birthmarks and acquired vascular lesions. We also treat adult patients with port wine stains, rosacea, Poikiloderma of Civatte and other vascular problems.

Dr Anne Halbert dedicates the majority of her time to paediatric dermatology. She continues to care for adult patients she has managed in the past, but only accepts new adult referrals for vascular laser.

Drs Stephanie Weston, Rachael Foster and Patricia Le provide paediatric expertise but also continue to see new adult patients. They manage all inflammatory rashes including vulval conditions and rashes of pregnancy and undertake skin cancer surveillance and management. They welcome parents of our paediatric patients so we can provide a complete family service.
