Amanda M. Palmer is a Melbourne-based dermatologist in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. She helps people who deal with ongoing skin problems, especially when the skin is irritated, sore, or keeps coming back.
In her practice, Amanda focuses on issues like contact dermatitis, lichen planus, and perioral dermatitis. These conditions can be stubborn. They can also affect how you feel day to day, from the discomfort to the worry about what might be causing it.
Contact dermatitis often shows up after your skin reacts to something. It might be a product, a plant, metal, or even certain cleaning items. Sometimes the trigger is hard to spot, and the rash can come and go. Amanda looks at the pattern of the symptoms and the areas involved, so you can get closer to what’s going on in a clear, step-by-step way.
Lichen planus is another long-term skin condition. It can affect the skin and, at times, the mouth. It may look different from person to person, and it can be hard to manage when flare-ups happen. In many cases, people need a plan that fits their skin and their routine, not just a quick fix.
Perioral dermatitis usually affects the skin around the mouth. It can feel stingy or tender, and the bumps can be confusing, especially if you’ve tried a few different creams already. Amanda helps sort through what might help, what might be making things worse, and what to watch for as the skin settles.

Overall, Amanda’s dermatology work is grounded in practical care. Skin problems can be stressful, so appointments are best when you can talk openly about what you’ve noticed, what you’ve tried, and how things change over time. If you’re dealing with a rash or flare-ups that won’t seem to shift, having a proper skin check can make a real difference.
