Dr Adams has interests and expertise in sexually Candlelit dinnertransmitted diseases, genital rashes and conditions affecting the vulva. He was made a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Diseases in 2003 for his work on precancerous lesions.

Dr Adams has also had wide experience in radiotherapy for the treatment of skin cancer. This is a non-invasive and very effective alternative to surgery.

Dr Adams is one of the four dermatologists in New Zealand who diagnose patient Molemap images from the whole of the country. Molemapping is carried out at his Wellington base. However, Molemapping appointments need to be made directly with Molemap - not via Dematology Plus as per normal appointments. You can contact Molemap on 0800 665 3627. See the Molemap website for more information.

Dr Adams is a member of the committee who created the award-winning website DermnetNZ. This website has a huge amount of information and advice for medical practitioners and people who have skin disorders.
