For nearly a decade, Adrian suffered in silence, avoiding mirrors, hiding under hats and hoodies, and feeling insecure about the large bump on his scalp. This chronic inflammatory scalp condition is known as Acne Keloidalis Nuchae (AKN), which causes firm bumps, pustules, and ultimately, thick, keloid-like scars, typically located on the back of the neck or lower scalp. However, for Adrian, its effects weren’t just physical. The large mass on the back of his head caused him mental and emotional pain as well. It made him insecure, and he began to slowly isolate himself from everything and everyone he loved.

Finding a Way Forward
After years of failed solutions, Adrian found help through Dr. Sanusi Umar, the world’s top specialist in Acne Keloidalis Nuchae and founder of the Dr. U Skin & Hair Clinic. Dr. U developed a customized treatment plan, using specialized surgery, advanced healing protocols, and innovative tools to target the AKN mass directly.
Through proprietary techniques and the combined support of his family and Dr. U’s clinic, Adrian was finally able to overcome this debilitating condition.

A Transformation Beyond Skin
Today, Adrian’s journey is about far more than the removal of a scalp mass. With the lesion gone, he has reclaimed his confidence and his ability to move through the world freely. What once defined his life no longer holds him back.
Adrian’s story shows what is possible when science, innovation, and persistence come together.
