Mark Schifter is a Dermatologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He looks after people who have ongoing skin issues, but he also understands that some conditions affect the mouth and other parts of the body too.
In day to day care, Mark often sees patients with mouth sores and mouth ulcers. These can be painful and slow to settle, and they can make eating and speaking harder than it should be. He also treats people with lichen planus, which can show up on the skin and inside the mouth. Over time, the aim is to calm things down and help prevent flare-ups where possible.
Another key area of care is pemphigus. This is a group of autoimmune blistering conditions. Mark treats different types, including pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus. These conditions can be tough because they may come and go. In many cases, treatment needs to be matched to what the person is dealing with, and it may take some time to find the right plan.
Some patients also come in with conditions linked to hormone issues, including Addison's disease and secondary adrenal insufficiency, as well as Cushing's syndrome. While these are not “skin-only” problems, they can still connect to how the body works and how someone feels overall. Mark’s approach stays practical—focusing on the symptoms people are actually having and working out the safest next steps.
At times, people with lung breathing problems like bronchiolitis obliterans may also be managing symptoms alongside other health concerns. When that happens, care needs to be coordinated and grounded. Mark helps explain what is going on in plain language and supports patients as they navigate the bigger picture.
Mark works with patients who want clear answers and steady care. He keeps visits focused on what you’re noticing, what might be causing it, and what options are available. The goal is simple: help reduce discomfort, support healing, and make sure follow-up is clear.
