For several years prior to working with Dr. Sanusi Umar, John had to live with three different scalp conditions: acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN), cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) and dissecting cellulitis (DC).
Each of these conditions presented their own obstacles for John. However, while these were clearly not simply aesthetic concerns for John, they impacted his overall self-confidence, ability to socialize, and day-to-day comfort levels.
Once John embarked on his treatment plan with Dr. Umar, however, things quickly changed for the better. He was able to take charge of each area of his physical and mental well-being — including his weight loss journey, controlling his chronic inflammation, improving the condition of his skin and planning a successful future.
The Return of the Fire Within
Michael, John’s cousin, has personally observed the many ways in which John has demonstrated discipline with regards to his diet and exercise, and the determination that John has displayed in continuing to push forward — even when he broke his foot. Michael believes that the fire that burned within John before is now stronger than it has ever been.
However, since he has begun to follow Dr. Umar’s structured plan which includes medical weight loss management, controlling inflammation and treating his conditions in stages — John’s family has reported that they have noticed the spark within him return.
While John’s family has certainly observed the positive changes that he has undergone, so too have his co-workers and supervisors. As they have complimented John on how much thinner and healthier he appears, this has reinforced everything he has worked toward for so long.
The fact that John is experiencing these changes, especially after enduring many years of suffering from scalp bumps and the heavy weight of the folds created by CVG, makes these changes all the more meaningful.
More Than the Treatment of Chronic Folliculitis of the Nape
As someone who often chose to skip family gatherings due to embarrassment from his scalp swelling and draining nodules, hearing other people comment on his positive progress is an incredibly motivating force for John.
Dr. Sanusi Umar’s comprehensive treatment program is doing more than providing John with an avenue to remove the bumps and correct the folds on the back of his head. It is giving John the opportunity to restore his confidence, improve his mobility, and instill in him hope again.
That spark that everyone can see in John? It’s no longer coming back —it’s taking over.
