anyone know of a good dermatologist (private)

[Belle]

Not strictly family but have found in the past there's a wealth of knowledge about eczema in the family room. Have finally decided to take advantage of private healthcare insurance we get through husband's work, and get my chronic eczema seen to. I've seen a few paediatric dermatologists for my son, but now need an adult one! thought worth checking on here to see if anyone's had experience of a good one - am sure someone posted about their husband's eczema not that long ago and they were pondering this option.

If you are with the Forest Hill Rd GP Practice I would try and get an appointment with Dr McCall who is a dermatology specialist GP, she will undoubtedly be able to give you a private referral (which most private health insurers require) to a dermatologist who specialises in eczema. You may find you also need an allergists depending on the nature of your condition.

Good luck!

My eczema has been terrible in the past.

A 10 or 11 years ago I felt I had to be seen right away and could'nt wait the then 12-16 weeks for a referral and went private. Lovely lady at Kings College Hospital. After the first consultation she transferred me to NHS side. Eczema resolved for 6 years after two consultations.

4 or 5 years ago another flare up and given UV light treatment. Worked a treat and only recently has the excema given me a littel grief.
