Have your scars improved, Sam? Zavvi, I have been told by every single derm that the NHS don't do it but then this guy said straight away, yeah we do it! I couldn't believe my luck

Can anyone recommend a moisturiser (preferably in the UK) that I can use as a deep moituriser at night? I get chronically dry skin but leaving a moisturiser on overnight does help even though I am sti...

Spoke to Claire and my appointment is for March 3rd! Fingers crossed for some progree

No I didn't know they had a acne department... did he explain what they do different to the dermatology department? I think it's Dr. Fitzgerald's department because when I was wondering where my appoi...

That is who I saw! How did you find him? I personally thought he was brilliant and one of the best ones (if not the best) I've seen!! I have been told he will be my derm full time now so he is obvious...

I spoke to Dr. Fitzgeralds secretary today and I am on the waiting list. It's a bit of a pain but the good news is I will be seeing the derm that originally saw me Let me know how you get on Sunny D

Haha. I have to ring Salford today to see why my appointment hasn't come through. I was given a number Friday as the appointment centre didn't have a record of it. I'm dreading getting a different d...

Well I've still had no appointment through and they have no record of it so I predict me seeing a new derm and him refusing to give me laser treatment. I hope I'm wrong!   More incompetence by t...

Not stalking me that much

Cheers people. I am still waiting on my next derm appointment so we will see what he offers!

Hi determinedtowin. Been reading your post for a while lol feel like a stalker but oh dear hope all works out for you and the derm stick to his word. How long did it take for you to be referred to a ...

The reason why I am willing to try C02 is that my pitted scarring is a lot worse than it looks on the pictures so I feel it might be worthwhile to try it for resurfacing as I will get it free on the N...

I'm actually very downhearted about this today. Yesterday, I received a letter from the hospital which contained a copy of my notes from my consultation. My major concern is that it is signed by th...

Hi! I see the red you are talking about, have you ever looked into eczema? Looks like you could have a mild eczema issue. I don't see the pitted scars really. I don't think you have anything to worry ...

I said it in my very first post it was for scars and posted a link to my 'story' !!   Were you at the Royal Infirmary? my derm is useless from there

Well done mate, I'm really pleased for you. The whole system here in the UK is atrocious. Not only does the mere mention of a dermatologist stick you on a 3 month waiting list (conservative estimate),...

They are, on the whole, pathetic is this country. What they don't realise is, half of the depression is usually down to peoples acne (never suffered from it personally but it must be horrible) wow ...

It was a combination of being lucky and most importantly persistent. I kept going to my GP and insisting on an appointment with the derm. I have had some terrible experiences (story and pics here ) b...

How did you manage that?! My dermatologist was adamant that laser treatment for acne scars is not available through the NHS and that I would have to go private which is not really an option seeing as ...

After YEARS of appointment after appointment I was last night told that I would be recommended for laser treatment for my scars. As long as they stick to their word I will be on the waiting list from ...
