Any recommendations for top paediatric gynocologist / dermatologist (SW London)

We are at our whits end having waited 5 months for a patch test for my almost 6 yr old who has had sore and itchy flair ups for a long time and have just had our hospital appointment cancelled due to COVID-19.

We have tried doctor cream after cream (and again concerned that they are mainly steroids) and what is worse is that the condition flares in her private regions. Has anyone got a top paediatric dermatologist that we can get to from SW London or ant advice on how to treat it? We’ve done Elecon cream, timodene, and a few others inc emollient cream. The GP is convinced it’s eczema or dermatitis but we are literally banging our heads against a wall and feel v frustrated seeing our little one in discomfort.

Any advice greatly appreciated Smile

Sorry - not been on this board for a while or would have responded sooner. Has lichen sclerosis ever been suggested? If not have a look at the symptoms and see if they fit.... I spent a very long time banging my head against a brick wall and feeling utterly helpless & clueless....I eventually found a few private paediatric specialists - one north mids, one London, one Bristol....went to the North Mids one....they were brilliant and we were then referred back to our local nhs specialist team where she’s been under 3 monthly review ever since. Hope this helps or you’ve found someone/something else to help in the meantime!
