Common Skin Conditions Treated
Skin conditions affect your confidence and overall well-being. Our clinic offers professional diagnosis and treatment for a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Eczema: This condition causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, often resulting in discomfort and irritation. Treatment with Kirrawee Doctors includes prescribing topical treatments, moisturisers, and medications to reduce inflammation. For chronic cases, we may recommend advanced therapies or lifestyle modifications to help manage triggers. In some cases, you may be referred to a dermatologist clinic for further investigation.
- Acne: Acne is a common skin issue that affects people of all ages, often resulting in pimples, blackheads, or cysts. We offer a range of treatment options, including prescription medications (such as retinoids or antibiotics), medical-grade skincare products, and lifestyle guidance to promote clearer skin and prevent scarring.
- Psoriasis: This chronic condition leads to thick, scaly patches of skin that may itch or feel painful. Management strategies include topical creams, oral medications, and potentially referring you for phototherapy to reduce symptoms and improve your skin’s appearance.
- Dermatitis: Dermatitis presents as redness, swelling, and irritation caused by various factors, including allergens and irritants. Our expert care includes patch testing to identify triggers, followed by tailored treatment plans with medicated creams, antihistamines, and advice to avoid irritants for optimal skin health.
- Rosacea: Rosacea is characterised by redness, visible blood vessels, and flare-ups, typically on the face. Our treatments focus on controlling symptoms through topical or oral medications, lifestyle advice to avoid triggers, and advanced therapies such as laser treatments when necessary.
What to Expect
Regular Skin and Mole Checks
Routine skin checks and mole checks are essential for maintaining skin health, especially in Australia, where we naturally have a higher UV index. UV radiation raises the likelihood of developing skin cancer, such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Early detection of subtle skin changes through professional evaluations can significantly improve treatment outcomes and reduce risks. Regular skin checks at Kirrawee Doctors can help identify potential issues early, ensuring better prognosis and successful intervention.
Mole checks are a crucial part of detecting skin cancers like melanoma. Changes in size, shape, or colour of moles may signal potential problems. We assess moles thoroughly by using the ABCDEs (Asymmetry, Border, Colour, Diameter, and Evolution) method, along with advanced diagnostic techniques. Early detection of melanoma allows for timely intervention, which can save lives. Regular mole checks at Kirrawee Doctors offer peace of mind and proactive skin cancer care.

We also offer ongoing management to monitor progress and adapt treatments as necessary, ensuring optimal results for long-term skin health. Our goal is to provide expert care that not only improves the appearance of your skin, but also enhances your overall comfort and quality of life.
Preventative Skin Care
We’re committed to educating patients on best prevention practices for protecting and maintaining skin health. Here are some essential prevention tips:
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days.
- Drink plenty of water to keep your skin moisturised from within.
- Cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturise regularly to maintain healthy skin.
We also recommend scheduling annual skin checks with Kirrawee Doctors to catch any concerns early. By combining these preventative measures with professional care, you can enjoy healthier, more resilient skin.
