Before Photos: Dr. U AKN Removal Surgery Scar Revision for London United Kingdom – UK Patient
Before seeing Dr. Umar, this patient had visited another doctor at another facility for treatment of his AKN. The doctor removed the lesion using an unknown surgical method. According to the patient, the lesion came right back. He continued to suffer the symptoms of irritation, itchiness, occasional discharge and pain. He continued to endure the embarrassment of having people run away from him in fear of what they think to be a contagious condition. For this reason, he always would avoid being in front of people so they do not get to see the back of his head and the AKN lesions. The image below displays the affected area of skin, years after another doctor’s failed AKN surgery.
As seen in the before image, previous surgical intervention by a different doctor was unsuccessful. After the other doctors attempted surgery, there was a large and noticeable scarring area. Following this typical AKN surgery, he sustained a fish-mouth shaped scar with the AKN lesion persisting.
