Are you tired of living with the itchy, painful, and embarrassing conditions of acne keloidalis nuchae? This type of skin condition, more commonly referred to as AKN, can often be mistaken for a persistent razor rash or “barber’s rash.” However, despite common misconceptions, AKN has nothing to do with unsanitary barber tools or shaving equipment, and instead is caused when ingrown hair develops and creates a form of trauma to the tissue beneath the skin’s surface.

AKN appears as small, hard bumps which look like pimples. Usually, people who suffer from this condition are men ages 13-25 of African descent. While countless individuals have tried to use home remedies or over the counter medications to combat this particular kind of folliculitis, most find that these remedies have little or no effect in clearing AKN.
