By the time John Picone reached out to the Bumpinator, his scalp demonstrated more than a single condition. His scalp revealed numerous deep creases at the very top of his head; and multiple boil-like lesions, located throughout his scalp.
Over the years, all of these issues combined, resulting in multiple layers of scarring and infections, ultimately leading to John experiencing loss of comfort and loss of confidence.
In order to determine an appropriate course of action prior to starting any form of treatment, it was necessary for Dr. U to evaluate John’s entire scalp.
A Scalp Affected by Multiple Overlapping Problems
In cases such as John’s, where there is significant involvement of the scalp, the scalp must be divided into individual sections, so that each section can be evaluated separately, in terms of its stage of disease.
Dr. Umar carefully mapped each of these regions to understand:
- where the disease was active,
- where tissue had hardened into scar,
- and how far the damage had spread.
Creating a Clear Path Toward Treatment
Dr. U was able to create a clear pathway to treat John safely and effectively using his detailed scalp map. Utilizing his detailed scalp map, the Bumpinator was able to identify which sections of John’s scalp would require removal through surgical intervention and which areas would need to be stabilized first.
Thus, enabling him to develop a treatment plan specifically tailored to John’s unique needs. Furthermore, the process will aim to achieve John’s goals for regaining function, comfort and confidence.
