About Dr Stephanie Arnold

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!

I had an initial consultation with Dr Steph at the Nuffield Hospital, Bournemouth, where she has just started a clinic. She was extremely helpful and thorough and clearly set out a treatment plan and solutions for me. She s a really empathetic clinician. I feel so much better about my skin!

I was pretty anxious about having surgery, albeit small, to a very visible part of my face. Dr Steph explained the procedure and was honest about the pain levels I might experience having the anaesthetic put in. I had a couple of questions which I felt were answered clearly . The procedure went ahead as described and Dr Steph was very reassuring at each stage.. Afterwards it was explained how to look after my wound and I was given a care package with a contact number in case of any issues . Shortly after I received an email coped to my GP outlining diagnosis, procedure aftercare and follow up. A week on I am healing well. I feel that having clear explanations at each stage from a reassuring and highly professional doctor has really helped.

My visit during the week with Dr Stephanie Arnold was a follow up meeting and as always she was most helpful. She reassured me that the areas of skin she had been treating were looking so much better and produced photographs of the before and after treatment. She is kind in her delivery of care and support.
