Festus had already been through surgery followed by radiation, but the approach failed in his case. In this Bumpinator short, Dr. Sanusi Umar answers a viewer’s question about what else was used and explains why Festus’s recurrent keloids ultimately required a different treatment strategy.
What Had Already Been Tried
A viewer asked what had been done besides surgery, whether radiation or medication had been used, and what chance there was that the problem would not return. Dr. U’s answer begins with the treatment history: he had performed surgery and followed it with radiation, but that resulted in failure for Festus.
“I did surgery, followed it with radiation, and that resulted in failure.”
Medications Were Part of Festus’s Care
Dr. U also confirms that oral medications were involved. The short does not name the medications or provide additional details about their role, so the focus remains on the treatment sequence Dr. U describes and the challenge of resolving Festus’s problem after the earlier approach did not work.
Dr. U Devises a New Method
According to Dr. U, the turning point was a new way of treating keloids that he devised specifically to resolve Festus’s problem. He describes the method as something that had not been described before and says it is a patent-pending process.
“What really did it for him was this brand new method of treating keloids.”
Dr. U says the new method worked for Festus. The result described here is specific to this patient, and the video does not present it as a guarantee for others. The full Festus story is available now, while this short focuses specifically on the question of radiation, medication, and the new method Dr. U used.
