About of Andrew K. Lee

Andrew K. Lee is a dermatologist based at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, NSW, Australia.


Dermatology is about more than just looking after skin. It’s also about helping with the itching, soreness, rashes, and skin changes that can make daily life hard. Andrew looks after people with conditions like lichen sclerosus and ongoing vulvovaginitis, including vaginal yeast infections and thrush. These issues can be uncomfortable and worrying, and they often need steady, practical care.


He also works with people who have common long-term skin problems such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. For some people, flare-ups come and go, and it can help to have a clear plan for what to do when symptoms start up again. Andrew spends time thinking through what’s going on and what treatment options might suit.


In many cases, he sees skin conditions that can affect areas beyond the skin surface. That includes hidradenitis suppurativa, which can cause tender lumps and ongoing skin flare-ups. It can take time to manage, and people often need support as well as treatment. Andrew aims to keep things calm and straightforward.


There are also less common conditions that may need careful attention, such as pemphigus, including pemphigus foliaceus and pemphigus vulgaris. At times, this also connects with complex care needs, so having a steady specialist approach matters. Andrew also sees sunburn and helps with skin care after flare-ups.


Andrew’s practice also includes people dealing with vulvar cancer and other skin-related health concerns in that area. Alongside this, he may also be involved with people where skin symptoms sit alongside broader health issues, including abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome, and congenital hyperinsulinism. These situations can be stressful, so the goal is to keep care organised and focused on what matters day to day.


Andrew is located at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, and he works with patients who want clear next steps and regular follow-up when it’s needed.
