It’s been two years since Adrian underwent his Acne Keloidalis Nuchae (AKN) removal surgery with the world’s top AKN expert, Dr. Sanusi Umar, and the transformation in his life has been remarkable. Today, Adrian feels connected, present, and fully engaged with the people around him. For eight long years, AKN kept him distant from the people he cared about most—but now, he embraces invitations, says “yes” to gatherings, and feels free to show up for the people he loves.
Living in Isolation
During the years when shame and insecurity controlled Adrian’s life, he deeply missed being around friends and family. His AKN scalp bump made him feel exposed and vulnerable, and stepping out into the world felt overwhelming. He hid under hoodies and beanies, no matter the weather, trying to avoid stares and uncomfortable questions. But the more he tried to conceal the lesion, the more isolated he became. Eventually, he convinced himself that isolation was easier than risking judgment.
A Much-Needed Change
Now, two years after his AKN removal surgery, Adrian is fully reclaiming the life he once put on hold. He’s no longer waiting for invitations, he’s initiating them. He wears whatever he wants without worrying about hiding anything. His personality now shines through with confidence. The difference is palpable to everyone around him. Adrian is genuinely excited to live, laugh, and make memories again. Whether it’s a weekend brunch or a family gathering, he now shows up with joy.
