BY no means a luxury, skin health is a necessity and thanks to the expertise of Alanna Adams from Skindepth Dermatology, regional residents are gaining access to world-class care. An accomplished Registered Nurse, Melanographer, and Dermoscopist at the leading Melbourne-based clinic, Alanna brings over 30 years of nursing experience and more than 12 years of dedicated specialty in dermatology and skin cancer detection to regional clients.
Alanna leads nurse-led dermatology clinics three days a week at Skindepth’s Shepparton location, offering comprehensive skin checks, UVB therapy for conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, acne management, and wart treatments. Her work is vital in the early detection and prevention of skin cancer, a service that can make a life-saving difference, especially in sun-exposed regional communities.
Formally accredited as a Melanographer by the Australasian College of Dermatologists, Alanna also plays an educational role, regularly assisting in dermoscopy workshops to train the next generation of skin health professionals. Her close collaboration with plastic surgeons and dermatologists, including her supervisor Dr Alice Rudd, adds depth to her clinical approach. Dr Rudd, founder of Skindepth Dermatology, is known for her commitment to accessible, high-quality care and holistic skin health solutions.
Ensuring and empowering locals with early intervention as well as the knowledge to maintain optimal skin health, Alanna said,
“I am thrilled to be working alongside such a knowledgeable and experienced specialist like Dr Rudd and the other wonderful dermatologists at Skindepth Dermatology. It is imperative the Shepparton community has access to high-quality specialist care which negates the need to travel to Melbourne.”
