Specialists in the UK?

Can anyone recommend a specialist in the UK? I currently live in Cambridgeshire, and am willing to travel to London or Cambridge if either have anyone worth travelling for?

A bit of background - the last time I saw my gynaecologist, she did a biopsy, which showed that I had dermatitis. I asked to be referred to a dermatologist to identify what was causing my dermatitis, the dermatologist arrange an allergy test and prescribed me some steroid ointment. I've applied the steroid ointment on and off for the last few months, but was a little concerned that it made my lady bits feel swollen and pronounced, and so I kept stopping for a brief spell.

Visited the dermatologist again today, and went through my concerns, he couldn't think of a reason for the swelling, but when I described the sharp pain I get on penetration, he said that in his opinion the pain didn't sound like anything he would associate with dermatitis. The best way I can describe this pain is by comparing it to when I had my ears pierced, and for a while there was a flap of skin that would sometimes get caught when I was putting new earrings in. The pain of the skin catching feels really similar to what I have on penetration here. I do have dermatitis, but it's not what's stopping my sex life.

I'm getting really tired of waiting to be referred to people on the NHS at the moment - I just seem to hop from the back of one waiting list to the back of the next, and it's driving me nuts! I think I need to see someone who specialises in this sort of field. Any help is much appreciated!

Hi! I saw Professor Wendy Reid at the Royal Free (privately) it's expensive (£225) per consultation but worth it. She writes down for your GP what to prescribe and then you take it to the GP for the medication. You can also see her on the NHS - takes a couple of months. Id recommend asking your GP for a referral to her and in the meantime seeing her privately. It was the best decision I made. She's very very good and heavily involved in research in vulval conditions. Well worth the money. Also, equally as important to find a good GP who's willing to give you whatever medication your private specialist recommends. If your. GP tries to give you something different or argues with you, find a new GP.
