Acne Keloidalis Nuchae Growth Surgical Cure – Before And After
Acne Keloidalis Nuchae Growth Surgical Cure – Before And After
Acne Keloidalis Nuchae Growth Surgical Cure – Before And After : This patient had been suffering from Acne Keloidalis for six years prior to having the lesions surgically removed by Dr. Umar. He had tried taking oral prescription medication for his AKN during this time, but did not find any relief from this condition.
In later stages of AKN, the bumps become bigger and fuse into a large single mass of tissue.*
As the AKN mass grew bigger, the patient felt extremely self conscious in social situations, including visits to the barber.
What Causes Acne Keloidalis Nuchae Growth?
Experts are not clear about the exact causes of Acne Keloidalis Nuchae at this time. However, it seems likely that there are many different factors. A few examples include:
(1) irritation from shirt collars and other types of clothing
(2) ingrown hairs which trigger immune attacks against the follicle
(3) close shaving of the hair with razors.
These variables may affect different individuals to varying degrees.
Although Acne Keloidalis Nuchae is commonly seen in males of African descent, it can also develop in other ethnic groups and individuals who naturally have straight hair. The patient featured here is an example.
The Progression of Acne Keloidalis Nuchae
Aside from the issue of cosmetic disfigurement, AKN also causes itchiness, bleeding, discharge and pain. While injections can reduce some of these symptoms, they do not clear the lesions.
Acne Keloidalis Nuchae Growth Surgical Cure – THE SURGERY
Surgery is very promising for advanced phases. Dr. Umar uses a specialized technique to excise the affected area and lowered the posterior hairline. He also applies methods that allow the wound to gradually close completely on its own.
Serial tension stitching was applied to close this patient’s wound. It enables time for the skin to heal and regain its normal form to enable the full range of head movement to be restored.
Also, in acheiving this Acne Keloidalis Nuchae Growth Surgical Cure, Dr. U aligns the posterior hairline with the horizontal linear scar so that it appears less visible.
