Recurrent AKN Back of Neck Bumps  – Before Removal By Dr Umar

This patient underwent two surgical procedures before the back of his head was finally cleared of Acne Keloidalis Nuchae. During his first surgery, the affected area was excised. However, the physician allowed the surgical wound to heal through the formation of scar tissue as opposed to applying techniques that would allow the excision to close. This is referred to as healing by secondary intention.

However, six months after the procedure, the patient noticed new AKN bumps forming on the scar. He then sought the help of Dr. Umar for a second surgery to clear the reemergence of the new lesions.
