Explanation

I developed Fordyce Spots/Pearly Penile Papules in the 1990’s, whilst in my late teens. At the time I had no idea what they were and I suffered with them for a couple of years before plucking up the courage to visit my GP. My GP incorrectly told me that what I had was perfectly normal hair follicles and that I had nothing to worry about. I believed what I had been told and carried on as normal. It wasn’t until I was in my mid 40’s and technological advances in internet search engines that I finally realised that I had been misinformed. Intrigued to see if anything could be done, I booked myself another appointment with my GP. My GP confirmed that I had indeed got perfectly normal and harmless Fordyce Spots/ Pearly Penile Papules and that they are also very common but wasn’t sure whether I should be referred to a Urologist or a Dermatologist. He referred me to a Urologist. I attended my appointment with the Urologist who reassured me that the condition is normal and very common but told me that he couldn’t provide me with the cosmetic treatment I wanted and that I would need a Dermatologist for this. This is when I was referred to Dr Latheef! I met with Dr Latheef and I was excited to learn that there are various cosmetic treatments for the condition. We agreed to proceed with treatments of Cryotherapy. After four treatments the Fordyce Spots were barely visible and the skin was smooth with no visible signs of scarring. There were a few stubborn spots remaining and these were surgically and painlessly removed under a local anaesthetic. There are absolutely no visible signs whatsoever that the more stubborn spots were ever there!!! I cannot thank Dr Latheef enough. He has certainly improved the overall cosmetic appearance and I have a new found self confidence that had been lacking beforehand. I have absolutely no problems whatsoever in recommending Dr Latheef's services.

I visited 2 GPs in the UK, a specialist in Morocco and then the MEDIPOL hospital in Istanbul, Turkey; for my skin condition and constant itching. With many wrong diagnosis, in a last ditch effort, i googled and found Dr Latheef in Leeds. During a 10 minute consultation and within a minute of visually assessing my skin, he identified the condition to be Physical Urticaria and prescribed me medication which relieved the physical and mental torture i endured for 5 months. Dr Latheef is not only polite and kind but a true headmaster in his field and i would highly recommend him to anyone suffering skin problems.

After having a large keloid growing on my ear, I decided to get in contact with Dr Latheef. The first appointment was amazing, he thoroughly talked me through the whole procedure and answer all my questions, he wasn’t in a rush to get rid of me or did not rush the appointment at all, he listened and was very understanding about all my issues. After having the consultation appointment, he said he could do the procedure within a few days, which was amazing and such great service! He was very supportive throughout the whole process, making sure his secretary was always in contact with me, the results are amazing, I am so pleased and over the moon by the job he did because before I used to get very self-conscious but now there is nothing to worry about at all. He even made sure not to rush the procedure and ensured to keep the shape of my ear which was perfect. Dr Latheef is honestly amazing, I cannot fault him anyway possible, he is the kindest gentleman you’ll ever meet, be sure to use his services as he is very well experienced and dealt with many keloids before!

10 years of eczema, however the last 3 years has been unbearable. Unable to shower, hug/touch my husband and unable to move without bleeding. My nipples were so bad, each time i moved or took my bra off the whole nipple would rip off (this happened daily) i would cry knowing what was about to happen and the pain that was about to follow. I was unable to do my job (dance teacher) as i was unable to move. Each time i moved my skin would rub against clothes, leaving me having to just say the steps instead of actually dancing them. I used to sit naked on a seat at home trying not to touch anything around me. Since seeing the friendly/helpful Dr Latheef i have my LIFE back. I have had 3 showers (the first 3 in years) i still have to be careful with what i touch and what i do, and using creams etc... however i can now do normal things. Weather that be hug my husband for a few moments before i roll over to sleep. Or actually doing my actual job and being able to dance and move without bleeding and cracking. My nipples have completely healed, no cracking, leaking which means i can take clothes on and off without ripping the whole nipple off. I am sat in clothes typing this with no pain, which feels weird and like a dream. Dr Latheef has been so supportive, understanding and given me faith back in Medicine. I still only shower occasionally, and hug my husband for tiny amounts, and apply creams all the time.. but i have some sort of normality back. And the pain and constant itching has gone! i have seen many dermatologists throughout the years all across the country and not ONE has been able to help me! but DR Latheef has given me life back. THANK YOU. what shall i do first, shower, dance, or hug people?

I saw Dr Latheef in February after suffering from facial swelling, redness and sore eyes. A condition my GP was unable to diagnose. I was loosing my confidence and my mental health was at an all time low. I arranged an appointment to see Dr latheef at the Nuffield Hospital in Leeds. Dr latheef spent alot of time listening to me and answered all my questions. I was put at ease straight away and Dr latheef was confident he could help me. Dr latheef took his time to fully explain each stage of the process. Following the advice of Dr latheef, further appointments were arrange for the following week for patch testing to take place. Dr latheef was then able to do a full diagnosis. A couple of months have now passed and I wanted to share how delighted I am with the results. I feel like my skin has been given a new lease of life! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such a smart, humble and compassionate doctor. I am so pleased I came to see you.

After many years/months seeing numerous GP’s and even a private specialist regarding dermatitis on my face I wasn’t getting anywhere. It was such a big relief coming across Dr Latheef. After a course of 3 months treatment (mixture of tablets and cream) within afew days I could see a huge difference. Dr Latheef cleared my face and it’s the best it’s ever looked. Dr Latheef is the best dermatologist, he is kind and understanding and puts you at ease. Right from the word go he reassured me that he could find a solution not only in the short term but also the long term. I would always recommend Dr Latheef to friends and family. He is my go to dermatologist without a doubt and brought my confidence back.

I had begun to notice dark spots and increasing pigmentation on both sides of my face for a few years before I saw Dr Latheef. He diagnosed melasma and after after a short course of treatment, the difference in my skin has been amazing. The melasma has gone and I don’t need to wear make up to cover up any discolouration. Before the treatment with Dr Latheef, I was contemplating invasive and expensive laser treatment which I am happy to say I don’t need anymore. Everyone I know wants to know what I’m using and I’ve recommended Dr Latheef many times. He’s brilliant !

I decided to fly from Dubai to Leeds to see Dr Latheef following a number of recommendations from friends and colleagues in Dubai who had been to see him already. I have been suffering with severe blistering rashes that covered most of my body and affected my business and personal life causing severe stress and anxiety because I could never know when the next flare would happen and destroy my day! Having had no improvement having seen local Dermatologists, prescribing me antibiotics that never really worked I finally decided to make the trip to Leeds to see Dr Latheef. At the consultation he was very understanding of my condition, carried out some tests and confirmed the diagnosis and gave me a very clear treatment plan and within a few weeks my condition started to clear Alhamdullilah . I am planning to fly back for my follow up visit but wanted to write this to say a big thanks to Dr Latheef for giving me a fresh start in life!

Life changing results! Having had persistent body acne and PLE throughout my teens and twenties I have tried any and all remedies I could find over the years without much success. I recently decided to speak with Dr Latheef to see what he could do, and 2 months into the prescribed treatments my once very visible acne and PLE rash has gone. This is the first time in my adult life I do not have any sign of acne, and my only regret is not speaking to Dr Latheef sooner! Exceptionally knowledgeable and personable doctor that I can't recommend enough. Thanks again!

We came to see Dr Latheef as our 11 month old son was suffering severely with eczema on his body and face. We had been to see our GP on numerous occasions but to no avail. He had also stopped eating and sleeping and was in real discomfort. On having a consultation with Dr Latheef he put our concerns to rest and we were prescribed a few different steroid creams with a treatment plan of what to use and when. At first we were a little hesitant about using steroids - particularly on our sons face. However we were assured that as long as we used them correctly there was nothing for us to worry about. We did as Dr Latheef instructed and within 2 days our sons skin had cleared. We kept to the treatment plan to ensure we used the creams in a safe way and now his skin is doing great. He was back to his happy self within a few days and eating and sleeping again! Would highly recommend Dr Latheef.
