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.

    • We like Radha Krishna Bavan, a South Indian restaurant near Tooting Broadway station, but sadly they don't deliver. They have really good lunch deals and the food has been excellent without fail so far, plus too much to eat (doggy bags willingly provided by the lovely staff!) Probably wouldn't make a special journey to go there, but go there quite often for lunch when visiting my niece, who lives in Tooting. Can't remember if they do dosas, though 
    • Yep,  the EU would definitely want cast-iron certainties that there was no chance of Brexit 2.0 before allowing the UK to rejoin. Best we can hope for in the short to medium term  is the UK rejoins the single market. That would at least make Brexit work *better* than it currently does.  But we live in a very volatile world and a lot can happen quickly, who'd thought we be rationally talking about the possibility of  a European Army outside the context of Brexit and its associated hysterics...
    • What I couldn't understand was on the day H&B  opened (or at least the Saturday after it) they had two people standing outside with trays of something round their necks, as if they were selling ice cream at the interval in a 1950s cinema. These things appeared to be free samples of something (can't remember what. Magnesium tablets? From the labels on the little jars?)  There was nothing to say they were free, nothing to say what they might be useful for, and no apparent attempt to engage passers by, or even to hand them out to passers by.  What was the point?! It had the opposite effect on me, as they looked so bored and fed up  We did have a wander round the shop, but the only thing they had which I might have bought ( a particular kind of milled seed which Health Matters don't stock)   I can get cheaper in Waitrose !!! ETA: I only buy their nuts when they are on offer (and freeze them) 🤣
    • If you are referring to me you don't have to pay to read my reviews and I'm not even sure if you have to sign up. If that feels too sinister you can just click on the links as far as I know, but the difference is if you sign up you receive the - free - reviews by email whenever they appear. Quite a useful - free - service I think. I'm not going to spam the EDF every time I run a review, but here's a link to the site as I've run a few new reviews in the last few weeks. https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/
