Forest Hill Road Group Practice has a Dermatology Specialist GP, Dr McCall, but you need to be registered at the practice to see her. As far as private consultants are concerned, Dr McCall recommends Dr Elizabeth Higgins who has a private practice out of London Bridge Hospital and the Lister (she also works at Kings but you will need to go through the normal referral process). I'm only assuming she covers paediatric and adult cases. Her secretary at the London Bridge Hospital is incredibly helpful.

I took my 5 year old daughter to see Dr Higgins at the Lister (London Bridge told me they don't do kids) and she was great. She specialises in paediatric dermatology.


The tests they did far surpassed any consultation that I had at DMC and the treatment she prescribed should finally mean we can say goodbye to something that has been plagueing my daughter for 2 years.

Elm Lodge GP practice in Burbage road also has a specialist dermatological GP in Naomi Kemp. She's a delight with both adults and children. Very thorough, kind and gentle. Of course she's just a GP not a consultant but she is always now my starting point.

Hi. I used to manage the dermatology unit at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital & I can highly recommend Dr Nerys Roberts, a paediatric dermatologist who is extremely thorough & experienced dermatologist. You definitely don't want to see a GP or even a GP specialist unless the condition is manageable by a less qualified medic.Most boroughs now refer paeds to community clinics run by specialist dermatologists where there should be the ability to see a consultant but you would need to check whether these satellite clinics do have a paediatric dermatologist there as otherwise you just end up seeing a GP with a specialist interest (GPwSI) who may not have the expertise.

Hope this helps. It is really dependent on your toddlers skin condition as there are so many dermatological conditions.

    • Maybe they would just leave them turned. In a world gone suddenly mad, it makes many individuals feel better to think they have made some protest, however small, even if they know that it makes no difference at all in the great scheme of things. Surely that's better than just blind (sorry I can't think of a better word) acceptance  of  whatever dreadful things are going on, or turning a blind (sorry again) eye. History shows us where that has led in the past. And in the case of the Tesla sellers and non purchasers, it has actually significantly affected things, albeit not the political things which matter.  
    • Can anyone recommend a good local wedding DJ with all their own kit (hook-up is via XLR cable)?  Having our wedding reception at the Herne Tavern at the end of May!
    • Agreed. Shop workers would have to waste time turning all the items the right way round.
