Recommended homeopath South West London / Surrey

8 replies

JAAT20 · 23/01/2026 11:53

Hi there,

Looking for a recommended homeopath for my son in SW London or Surrey area ideally.

Small patch of dry skin that seems to be impossible to shift at home. I would like to try some natural approaches before seeing a Dr who will likely prescribe steroid creams etc.

My son is 9m. He has somewhat sensitive skin but no other existing skin issues.

thanks

Do not waste your money on quack remedies.

You know homeopathy is just water, right?

Try lush dream cream, it’s suitable for babies

Homeopathy isn’t a natural approach to anything it’s bs

What have you already tried yourself? If it’s just a small patch of dry skin does it even need any specific treatment?

Hear me out on this:
DS was covered in eczema at 7/8 months old. I tried all sorts of natural lotions etc to no effect. GP prescribed hydrocortisone cream, and the eczema cleared up completely. He’s 17 now, and it’s never come back.
As a child, I had terrible psoriasis. DM took me to a homeopath regularly for a couple of yearst, and I continued to have terrible psoriasis. As soon as I left home (uni), I signed up with a GP, and my skin improved enormously within a few months.

I have tried tallow, kit & kin magic balm (which seems to be a mixture of oils), coconut oil, moo goo eczema cream.

The only thing that works for my sons ezcema is the epimax cream we have on prescription. I’ve wanted to avoid steroids and we did use them once during a flare up but it just made it worse. You can ask for a moisturiser on prescription whilst still avoiding steroids.
