Recommend the best dermatologists in London for adult eczema

5 replies

Eczemad · 24/03/2026 09:20

I am a 45 year old perimenopausal woman. My eczema is the worst it has been in years. And now it is coupled with polymorphic light eruption (PMLE) as well, so i have rashes all over my body and o am itching like mad.

Please suggest the best dermatologists i can see privately in London for this. I have seen a couple of dermatologists already but havent been impressed with the usual cyclical steroids they give me which hasn't sorted the problem. I am keen to try dupixent but my insurance will definitely not cover this (it is questionable if they will cover any further private Dermatology appointments either, since they won't cover chronic conditions). I will try and get a referral on the NHS too but an appointment will likely take several months.

Thank you

bit north of London recommended them before but
Dr Wanda Robles Kings Oak/Cavell Enfield &
Miss Tee Wei Siah One Hatfield hospital.
I’ve seen Miss Siah more recently because she’s nearer. absolute legends the pair of them and they’ve referred me to NHS when possible which the GP didn’t like 🫡👏🏽

Thank you, @Beachpelican and @brightnails
I would happily be referred to a competent dermo on the NHS but believe referrals are taking very long (my 12 year old waited 5 months for an appointment last year) and my GP keeps sending me back with a steroid prescription and doesnt refer me on anyway 😪

yes it takes an impracticality long time but I was lucky Dr Robles referred me for a review at Chase Farm pretty quickly, I’m still waiting for skin tests tho. you can’t go a whole year living/working with severe atopic eczema (and I’ve only once been given steroids by an NHS GP) so I just have to pay 🫠 good luck 🤞🏽
