Michelle H. Wu is a Dermatologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She helps people who have skin problems that are mild and annoying, and also those that need more careful checks. Skin can change for lots of reasons, and sometimes it takes time to work out what is going on.
In her clinic, Michelle looks after patients with a range of conditions. This can include common skin issues like psoriasis and lichen planus, and also conditions that affect the skin in the folds, such as intertrigo. At times, she also treats people with lichen sclerosus and vulvovaginitis, including problems like vaginal yeast infection. These are often sensitive topics, so the approach is usually calm and practical.
She also sees people with skin growths and skin cancer. That includes basal cell skin cancer, and situations where deeper or more complex growths are involved, like adult soft tissue sarcoma. Some cases also relate to rare blood vessel and tumour conditions, including angiosarcoma and vasculitis. For these, the goal is to understand what the skin is doing and help plan the next steps in a clear way.
There are also some rare genetic or inherited conditions that can show up in the skin. Michelle’s work includes conditions such as Cowden Syndrome and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba Syndrome, plus related syndromes like Ruvalcaba Syndrome. She may also be involved in looking after people with Lhermitte-Duclos Disease, which can affect the nervous system and may show up alongside skin changes.
Even with all these different conditions, the day-to-day focus stays the same. Michelle is there to assess symptoms, explain what might be happening, and support patients through follow-up when needed. When results are unclear at first, she helps people take one step at a time until things start to make more sense.
