Dr. Umar has performed a biopsy, which has enabled him to map the exact borders of the folliculitis decalvans lesion. Dr. Umar is ready to begin the scalp surgery operation. The question is, is Anwar emotionally ready for a different outcome? Is he sure he wants to try for a cure again?
Anwar’s case of folliculitis decalvans has made him self-conscious, wanting to hide away from the rest of the world. He knows that as the lesion grows, it becomes more difficult for him to hide it underneath a baseball cap. Dr. Umar wants to put Anwar at ease, so that Anwar feels comfortable with the treatment, but he knows that the case is complicated. In addition to folliculitis decalvans, Anwar also suffers from an underlying condition called acne keloidalis nuchae, known as AKN.
