For eight years, Adrian has lived with a massive Acne Keloidalis Nuchae (AKN) mass on the back of his scalp. The AKN dictated how he dressed, where he went, and how close he allowed people to get to him. It even limited the kinds of jobs he felt comfortable pursuing. Both the physical and mental weight of the lesion kept him from being his true self. But now, after a successful AKN removal surgery performed by world-renowned specialist Dr. Sanusi Umar, Adrian’s life has taken on new meaning. For the first time in years, he’s free to enjoy the little things most people take for granted.
The Small Things
When Dr. Umar asked Adrian what had changed most since his surgery and recovery, Adrian’s answer was simple: he could finally lie comfortably on his back. It was something most people wouldn’t think twice about, but for Adrian, it represented peace, rest, and relief from years of discomfort. Before his surgery, nights were filled with tossing and turning, unable to find a position that didn’t press painfully against the scalp bump. Now, he wakes up feeling rested, energized, and ready to take on whatever the day brings.
A New Outlook on Life
With his AKN lesion gone, Adrian has stepped into a new chapter of his life. “I just feel like because I’ve gotten rid of this problem, I can now attack the way I live my life with a way more clear head,” he told Dr. Umar on The BaldCast. What once felt like small, unreachable joys have become part of his everyday life.
