The Weight of 16 Years: Anwar’s Journey With Folliculitis Decalvans

For 16 years, Anwar has sought and tried different treatments to get rid of the Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) mass on the back of his head. However, after every procedure, the large scalp lesion became worse.

Our patient Anwar has lived with Folliculitis Decalvans since he was 18 years old. The skin condition causes localized scarring alopecia and chronic inflammation, and over the years, Anwar’s FD scalp bump has grown to almost completely encompass the entire back of his head. “It’s evolved over the years through different types of treatments,” he mentioned. “The issues keep coming back, and they keep coming back worse than before.”

Our patient, Anwar, explains how he has lived with Folliculitis Decalvans for 16 years. While he’s had treatments to help with the FD mass, it would just get worse over time.

Finding A Solution With Dr. Umar

Anwar’s search for a solution ended with him finding Dr. Sanusi Umar, the world’s top specialist in Acne Keloidalis Nuchae and Folliculitis Decalvans, and founder of the Dr. U Skin & Hair Clinic. His diagnosis was grim: “It is a very interesting case of Folliculitis Decalvans. Very severe, as severe as they come,” said Dr. Umar. Because of the extensive scarring, Dr. Sanusi Umar recommended removing the lesion in its entirety, which is not the traditional approach to treating FD. 

Backed By Science

This strategy was published in a study by Dr. Umar, which describes the first successful surgical removal of Folliculitis Decalvans-associated keloidal lesions. Dr. Umar and his team plan to use this approach in Anwar’s case, and they are optimistic about Anwar’s journey to a renewed, FD-free self.

Anwar undergoes an examination by Dr. Sanusi Umar. Together, they formulate a plan to tackle Anwar’s FD lesions. Dr. Sanusi Umar will perform a surgical excision to remove the mass completely.
