It is time. Years of going through bumps on the back of the head and persistent acne keloidalis nuchae have finally come to an end. Anwar removed his hat and showed the world what he had been hiding. Dr. Sanusi Umar confirmed that it had worked; Anwar no longer had AKN, but there were some minor hypertrophic scarring that would resolve as time went by.
This was more than just a physical transformation for Anwar; it was a mental one. What was once a source of Anwar’s feelings of being exposed or embarrassed has now turned into a story about how resilient he is and how well he managed his medical condition.

Managing Folliculitis Keloidalis Nuchae
Anwar’s experience illustrates the reality of acne keloidalis nuchae – an ongoing inflammatory process, which may look like bumps caused by razors, bumps at the hair line, or ingrown hair bumps. For many of these patients, they have tried every remedy imaginable to manage their bumps – home remedies, barbershop fixes, over-the-counter products, etc., without much success.
To effectively treat AKN, professional assistance is required. As Anwar states, “seeing a medical professional is crucial.” Traveling, cost, scheduling issues, etc. should not deter individuals from seeing a doctor. The consistency of seeking treatment, the direction from a medical professional and the determination to seek help will be what will allow you to manage your constant painful bumps and achieve a long term solution.

Emotional Impact of Treatment and Recovery
While Anwar’s experience has brought about significant improvements physically, emotionally, Anwar shares that the psychological benefit is equally impressive. To those who have experienced a condition such as Anwar, Anwar recommends that you continually search for answers and solutions. Trust that qualified professionals can assist you. And do not let small barriers hinder you from moving forward.
Dr. Umar also concurs with Anwar stating the changes Anwar has undergone both visually and psychologically, and the positive effects of his increased confidence. What was once a cause for Anwar’s discomfort, embarrassment and anxiety, is now a testament to the effectiveness of the treatment for Anwar’s acne keloidalis nuchae and Anwar’s ability to persevere.
