Living with a 16-year Folliculitis Decalvans has definitely made the surgery challenging. Aside from the large surface area of the lesion, what adds complexity to Anwar’s case is determining the old scars from the previous surgery. Anwar has undergone three surgeries in the past, which means that Dr. Sanusi Umar has to precisely navigate through the past AKN surgery scarring and the diseased tissues.
It is vital to ensure the success of this surgery to make this one the last procedure without recurrence. In this procedure, Anwar was accompanied by his father, who has always been there for him all throughout his journey to look for solutions to permanently remove his FD.
Precision Under Local Anesthesia
Anwar’s surgery was performed under local anesthesia and this was achieved by injecting numbing agents into the surgical field. This approach has made it possible for minimal to zero discomfort for the patient. Additionally, it has helped Dr. U precisely navigate through the layers of the lesion and isolate the diseased area. After a few hours, the lesion was successfully removed from Anwar’s scalp.
A Brand New Life
The Bumpinator was Anwar’s last shot for having a brand new life without the lesion affecting his daily living and confidence. Anwar’s case reminds us that even if he has a precursor disease called Acne Keloidalis Nuchae that has led to Folliculitis Decalvans to drastically spread across his scalp, there is still hope. Now, Anwar can finally say goodbye to his 16-year old problem and rebuild his confidence.
