Acne Keloidalis Nuchae AKN Scar Revision Results

Acne Keloidalis Nuchae AKN Scar Revision Results : Before being treated by Dr. Umar, this patient was treated by another doctor for the removal of his Acne Keloidalis Nuchae tumor. This surgical intervention had failed resulting in the re-emergence of the lesion bumps. According to the patient, “it came back bigger [and] even worse.”

Background of Patient’s AKN Excision

Dr. Umar successfully excised this tumor and initiated a specialized process that would facilitate the complete closing of the wound. According to the patient the wound closure happened in less than two months.  The outcome was a cosmetically inconspicuous linear scar that was positioned in alignment with the posterior hairline.
