Andrew J. Gibson is a Perth-based dermatologist (skin doctor) in Perth, WA, Australia. He looks after people who have skin issues that can feel worrying, painful, or just plain hard to explain. Skin problems can come on after new medicines, after infections, or after contact with something in the environment. In many cases, the right care starts with sorting out the cause, not just calming the rash.
Andrew treats a range of complex skin conditions. This includes severe drug reactions such as DRESS syndrome, erythema multiforme, scalded skin syndrome, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. These conditions can affect the skin in very intense ways, and they can also be linked with other symptoms, so careful assessment matters.
He also manages blistering and irritation-type skin problems. That can include bullae, pustules, and more straightforward but still troublesome issues like contact dermatitis. At times, these conditions can look similar to each other, especially early on, so he focuses on getting the details right—what started it, how it changed, and what else is going on.
Some skin signs show up as part of broader health problems too. Andrew works with people where skin symptoms can connect with conditions such as cystic fibrosis, polycystic kidney disease, polymyalgia rheumatica, and rhizomelic pseudopolyarthritis. He keeps things practical and helps people understand what the skin is telling them, while also supporting the wider care plan.
Over time, Andrew has built experience treating patients with both common and rare skin presentations. He understands that people can feel stressed when the skin is badly affected, especially when there’s burning, blistering, or rapid changes. His approach is usually calm and step-by-step, aiming to reduce discomfort and get the condition under control.
Andrew’s education is grounded in dermatology, with a focus on how the skin reacts in different situations—especially when the reaction is severe or linked to medicine. He stays focused on what helps day to day: clear explanations, sensible next steps, and close follow-up when a condition needs more care.
If you’re dealing with a skin condition that’s severe, spreading quickly, or linked to a recent medicine, it’s worth getting checked promptly. Andrew J. Gibson works in Perth, WA, and helps people find the right path forward for their skin health.
