Dr. Stephanie Arnold is a highly respected dermatologist based in both Oxford and Dorset. She specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of vulval skin diseases, skin cancer, psoriasis, acne, and various other skin concerns.
Dr. Arnold completed her medical degree at the University of Sydney and began her dermatology training at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. In 2010, she was awarded the Australasian College of Dermatologists Travelling Fellowship to Oxford, where she continued her training for 3 years, including a 12-month dermatopathology research fellowship. She completed the challenging Australasian College of Dermatologists Fellowship in 2014, and so holds specialist recognition in both Australia and the UK. She became a Consultant Dermatologist at the Churchill Hospital in early 2017.
Dr Arnold's particular interest is in vulval skin disease - she ran a monthly NHS joint vulval clinic with the gynaecology-oncology surgical team for over 10 years. She has a wealth of expertise in managing all types of vulval skin conditions, ranging from lichen sclerosus, eczema and psoriasis to precancerous conditions such as vulval intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) and Paget's disease. She is comfortable in discussing and prescribing a range of treatments, including medical, surgical, and laser therapy options.
Dr Arnold is an excellent skin cancer diagnostician, helped by her many years of managing skin cancer in Australia and the UK, including 6 months working at the Poche Melanoma Institute in Sydney.
Dr Arnold - everyone calls her Steph - wants to help you feel comfortable in your skin, free from symptoms, embarrassment and fear. A consultation starts with listening and learning about your unique situation, examining your skin carefully, and talking through solutions that are tailored to your needs. Get in touch - she'd love to help!

Dr Stephanie Arnold is kind and thorough with each patient. She takes time to sit, to chat, to listen, and to give clear, plain advice on care. People feel safe, calm, and set at ease with her at all times in a room. Her top fields of care are genital dermatology, vulval dermatology, and aged and sundamaged skin.
As always, Steph was extremely friendly, caring and attentive, and was clear in explaining the next stages of my treatment.
Dr. Arnold was super friendly and warm and made me feel at ease. Very happy I chose her to check my moles. She took her time to explain everything in details and show me things on the magnifier.
This was my first annual follow up/ ongoing monitoring of my condition. Since my last appointment I had a flare up but Dr Arnold had made herself available via Zoom so I have always felt help was readily available. At today’s appointment Dr Arnold was welcoming, reassuring and immediately put me at ease. As at previous appointments it was clear that she was interested in the whole of me not just my condition. She is just about the only doctor I have seen who truly assesses me holistically. And as before, I left feeling I had been given a thorough assessment and ‘heard’. Thank you Steph.
I felt immediately at ease with Dr Steph and was able to talk to her regarding intimate and normally embarrassing issues. I felt she was incredibly kind and thoughtful and didn’t rush me in any way. She was also so thorough in that she examined things that were related to, but not the main reason for my appointment. She took time explain the reason for the issues I have and this was so helpful as this has given me ways to cope with and improve my condition. Previous experience has shown me that this often isn’t the case and that one can finish a consultation with the feeling that nothing has changed. I am really grateful that I was able to see Dr Steph.
Dr Arnold was extremely calm, kind and caring. I immediately felt at ease and felt incredibly comfortable in being able to raise all of my concerns and questions. She has a lovely demeanour and is extremely knowledgeable! A true expert in her field. I would highly recommend seeing Dr Arnold if anyone has any concerns or issues in the field of dermatology! My confirmation letter of diagnosis and my follow up appointment were both completed on the same day of my initial appointment. It was an incredibly caring, professional and highly efficient service with an amazing personal touch. Thank you!!!
This was a very professional and personable consultation, very easy to share my issues and concerns, really felt i was listen to and a genuine empathy to my problem. Gave lots of advice and honest discussion about various types of treatment and valuable advice. Will definitely use again,
As always, a really friendly but professional consultation with Dr Arnold.
Made me feel very comfortable and relaxed about what was happening. Did a very neat job with the stitches.
Dr Arnold is an excellent communicator. She listens patiently, explains in detail and has a caring and reassuring approach. I walked into the room full of worry and uncertainty and walked out with a clear set of instructions and possible solutions to my issue. More importantly, I came out calm and reassured. I would definitely recommend her.
Dr Stephanie was one of the best senior practitioners I have met. Clear in her analysis with a friendly and informative manner I could not have asked for a better analysis, discussion and advice.
Steph and I have worked together for 15 years and I know her to be thorough, patient focussed and skilled. Always taking the time the patient needs to solve their problems
