If it is a strawberry mark or haemangioma then the Ophthalmologists at Kings are very knowledgable and refer on to a specialist clinic at Great Ormond Street if they need to. My son has a haemangioma on his lip and when we were seeing the Ophthalmologists for a separate issue they picked it up and gave us some useful information even though it is nowhere near his eyes.


At the moment we are not pursuing treatment so I can't comment on the process involved, but I felt confident that the doctors at Kings knew their stuff! Feel free to PM.

My older son has a strawberry near his bum of all places,caused us a lot of problems in his first few months but has since been fine and is disappearing. have had quite a bit of experience of the various rounds of dermatologists etc - but if it's not a strawberry mark that prob won't be much use! let us know.

My daughter has a haemangioma under her eye and was referred to the specialist clinic at Great Ormond St after being seen at Kings. They are very good, though their policy is usually watch and wait. Hers is still visible age 5 but has reduced in size considerably and hopefully will disappear by the time she is 7. Do PM if you want any more info

    • I usually use Mason and Green recently to get to Heathrow. They arrived early and were extremely reliable. The cars are immaculate and had friendly drivers. They also provide child seats for all ages. Used them at 6am. 
    • I think you can write to your local council to get the street cleaned more regularly. Also the may put more posters up to remind ppl to do clean up 
    • Absolutely right.  The other issue is that rescue centres like Celia Hammond make it nearly impossible to adopt a kitten or cat that desperately needs a home. I know many many people who have tried to adopt and have been refused, and only one couple who have been deemed to have a good enough home. The reasons people have been refused have been that they aren't in a position to take two kittens - unless it's changed recently you weren't considered unless you took 2 as cats  wouldn't be homed without a companion. But lots of people can't afford to feed and insure 2 pets. Another reason I've heard several times is that the potential adoptee lives on a road, not an A road or the south circular but just a road. But what is the other option they're looking for? A country estate? Another reason a couple of friends have been refused is that they have jobs and Celia Hammond said that they were looking for people who were at home all day . So again, what are they looking for? People who can afford not to work?  We are told 'adopt don't shop' but out of the many many families or individuals I know who have tried to give a loving home to a kitten / cat literally only a couple have been accepted, so have ended up buying a kitten. People who have had cats all their lives and adore cats. Of course it's important that adoptees are vetted but it's problematic that cat charities are deciding that a cat / kitten without a home would rather live in a cage at a rescue centre than with a loving person who has a job or lives on a road or cannot afford to pay for the upkeep of more than one pet. My friend has recently tried for months to adopt kittens or cats through various centres and although she was prepared to take two, was rejected by all rescue centres  as she lives on a (quiet) residential road in ED and doesn't work from home every day. She works from home 3 days a week. It's insane.
