FAQ – Commonly Asked Questions Regarding AKN
What does AKN look like?
Acne Keloidalis Nuchael (AKN) can appear as:
Red patches on the skin
Papules
Plaques
Pustules
These bumps, plaques, and papules can sometimes appear acne-like, but AKN is a condition that is entirely different from acne.
This may be confusing for some, as AKN stands for Acne Keloidalis Nuchae, but rest assured that these are different conditions and require vastly different treatments.

AKN Removal Results Los Angeles: AKN bumps, which can be found as small or large acne-like or keloid-like bumps around the back of the head, are often mistaken for barber’s rash. AKN is not a condition caused due to hygiene or dirty razors, but it is borne from a genetic condition. It is similar to Folliculitis in that ingrown hairs cause inflammation at the follicular level, creating itchiness, bumps, and scarring pustules that can grow bigger and deeper over time.
Due to AKN being a condition and a disease that is known to worsen over time, AKN should be diagnosed and treated immediately to prevent further damage to the scalp and hair.
Fortunately, if you suspect that you may have AKN, Dr. Sanusi Umar, MD, AKA The Bumpinator, is here to help as a dermatologist with specialized experience in diagnosing and effectively treating AKN. Results of his permanent AKN-removal surgery can be found in the pictures and videos below.

FAQ – Commonly Asked Questions Regarding AKN
How big can AKN bumps get?
Unfortunately, AKN is known to worsen over time, meaning that AKN bumps can grow in size ranging from their depth, width, the affected area, and more.
Many cases of severe AKN require extensive treatment such as radiation therapy and laser removal to remove successfully.
Whether you have AKN bumps in the size of small peas, or AKN bumps in the size of wide scars or bands, plaques, nodules, or more on the back of your head, it is best to consult with a dermatologist who has had extensive experience with AKN, such as Dr. Umar AKA The Bumpinator. To do so, schedule a free video consultation using the “Free Consultation” button above.
Is AKN related to Folliculitis?
In a sense, AKN is related to Folliculitis because there is a genetic condition that results in ingrown hairs in the patient, which eventually cascades into significant inflammation in the back of the head. Other related conditions to AKN, such as Folliculitis Decalvans (FD), which Dr. Sanusi Umar also diagnoses and treats successfully.

Folliculitis Decalvans Removal: Known as a rare yet aggressive condition, Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) is a skin condition affecting the scalp’s back top crown. Left untreated, it can worsen and create more extensive and deeper bumps on the back of the head and the top of the crown. Although Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) is an aggressive condition, there has not been much information on how to treat it until now using Dr. Sanusi Umar, AKA The Bumpinator’s unique self-invented methods.
Folliculitis Decalvans Treatments:
As in the case of Dr. Bumpinator Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) patient, this patient had visited many other dermatologists before with no significant results. Within these clinics, they gave him steroid injections to help reduce the swelling and inflammation, the bumps associated with Folliculitis Decalvans (FD). Still, it has not resulted in any permanent solution. These bumps on the back of his head continued to worsen. More so, these other dermatologists were unfamiliar with the condition and did not let the patient know that what he had was indeed Folliculitis Decalvans.
Yet, eventually, the patient was fortunate enough to find Dr. Sanusi Umar, AKA The Bumpinator, through the power of the internet to help him get rid of his Folliculitis Decalvans bumps permanently. Using his self-invented methods of steroid injections to reduce the swelling, laser removal, and surgery to rid of the FD bumps permanently, Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, was able to help this patient get rid of his FD bumps, as well as some AKN bumps (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae) on the bottom back of his neck in a way that would let the patient retain as much of his hair as possible. Dr. Bumpinator’s surgical removal of FD can be seen below.

The story of Robert Peeters is one of hope, determination, and endurance of the powerful human spirit.
Robert Peeters represents an extreme and unique case of severe AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae), which he had struggled with for nearly 20 years.
His breakthrough on this long journey finally arrived when he discovered the work of Dr. Sanusi Umar, also known as The BUMPINATOR.
Robert Peeters – Happier now that some of his AKN and skin conditions are gone thanks to radiation therapy done by Dr. Sanusi Umar, AKA The Bumpinator.
Finding Dr. Sanusi Umar, AKA The Bumpinator, from YouTube as one of the few doctors who had specialized in AKN – from research to actual physical surgery,
Robert Peeters finally found hope for recovery.
In the previous article and video episode, Dr. U prescribed Robert several medications and treatments to treat his discomfort. Some of which include:
Antibiotics
An anti-inflammatory is known as Colchicine
Finasteride
Turmeric
Yet, it seemed that these medications had little effect on Robert.
To help this particular patient achieve a normal-looking appearance, it was time for Dr. Bumpinator to resort to surgery, coupled with radiation therapy, to help Robert’s physical removal of his AKN, CVG, and Pseudofolliculitis Barbae. The severe AKN removal results of this extraordinary transformation and cutting-edge procedures can be seen in the video below.

In the video above, you can see the fantastic results of radiation therapy on Robert’s condition.
The Powerful Results of Radiation Therapy

Severe AKN Removal Results: As shown in the video above, the volume and height of Robert’s lesions have decreased.
The skin is much more supple, and the skin on the back of the head is much more supple – in short, the treatment had been a significant success!
Robert had avoided going out in public for a long time since he was little, but now he does not feel that way anymore.
Turning 40 next year, he finally feels much more at ease going out in public.
Now, he finally feels more like an average person who can walk around comfortably in his skin.
But to fully combat Robert’s complete condition, radiation therapy itself would not be enough.
It was time for Robert to undergo surgery with Dr. Umar to excise his side lesion.

The Athena Tension Suture Guard is a specially invented and patented tension suture kit by Dr. Sanusi Umar, AKA The Bumpinator, designed to help close surgical wounds from AKN removal surgery.
What’s Next for Robert’s Remarkable Journey
Now that the primary side lesion is gone, Dr. Umar plans to wait for the healing of the scar.
Once that is over, Dr. Umar is looking to help with Robert’s razor bumps treatment and rhinophyma surgery for Robert’s nose.

What is Folliculitis Decalvans: Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) is a rare, chronic (long-term) cicatricial (scarring) alopecia that occurs in adults. FD occurs on the scalp and is known to cause permanent hair loss due to the scarring and prolonged autoimmune response associated with it.
Folliculitis Decalvans is derived from Latin and means “inflammation of the hair root associated with hair loss.”
Specifically, Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) is classified as primary cicatricial or scarring alopecia, a group of disorders in which the inflammatory process targets the hair follicle, resulting in follicular destruction (hair loss) that can eventually lead to permanent hair loss.
Example of Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) Patient #1 – Dr. U Skin & Hair Clinic, The Bumpinator
Symptoms of Folliculitis Decalvans
Some of the reported symptoms associated with FD include:
Temporary or Permanent Hair Loss
Patchy Hair Loss
Irritated Spots
Pimple-Like Sores Around Affected Area
Pain and discomfort Centered Around the Affected Area
Tufting of Hairs Growing Out of a Single Follicle
Redness or Swelling of Affected Area
Scaly or Crusted Patches of Skin Surrounding Affected Area
Scarring of the Scalp
What Causes Folliculitis Decalvans
The cause of Folicululitis Decalvans (FD) is currently unknown. Medical experts speculate that this condition may be caused by an abnormal response to bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus.
A study by Dr. Sanusi Umar et al suggests that Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) is likely the same disease spectrum as Acne Keloidalis Nuchae (AKN) with the two conditions frequently occurring together [1].
What Folliculitis Decalvans is Not
FD is not a contagious condition, a type of skin cancer, or a keloid.
Who is Affected by Folliculitis Decalvans (FD)?
Folliculitis Decalvans is a relatively rare condition that accounts for 3% of 3133 diagnoses of alopecia and 11% of 840 diagnoses of cicatricial alopecia [2].
FD affects both men and women, but men more commonly. It is not known to be hereditary, although there are reports of it affecting members of the same family. Furthermore, there is a higher incidence of Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) in people of color.
Does Folliculitis Decalvans Hurt?
Patients who have had Folliculitis Decalvans are known to report pruritus (skin itching) or pain. FD can cause the area of the scalp to become itchy and painful, sometimes feeling tight. At other times, no discomfort may be felt.
What Does Folliculitis Decalvans Look Like?
FD generally presents as an “expanding patch of alopecia with peripheral pustules on the scalp.”[3]
The affected scalp area may become red and swollen, forming scaly areas, scabs, and crusts. Pus-filled nodes may develop, most commonly on the back of the head, but any other part of the scalp may be involved [4].
Another characteristic feature of Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) can be seen in “tufting.” Tufting is a condition in which several hairs exit from the same hair follicle on the scalp skin. It may lead to an appearance of hair similar to the bristles of a toothbrush. Bald patches can eventually develop and increase in size, leaving permanent scarring hair loss. The medical term for this permanent hair loss through scarring is “cicatricial alopecia.”
Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) – Patient Example of Tufting and Crusting
How is Folliculitis Decalvans Diagnosed?
Diagnosis can generally be made by a dermatologist examining your skin, sometimes using a handheld magnifying light to look more closely at the hair follicles.
In some cases where additional confirmation is needed, some dermatologists may require a skin sample (skin biopsy) or a skin swab taken with a cotton wool bud to confirm the nature of the condition.
Folliculitis Decalvans Patient Example – Before and After Surgical Removal by The Bumpinator

In the after picture on the right, patient also suffered from AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae) that were safely and permanently removed by Dr. U AKA The Bumpinator and healed using his own invented, patented Athena Suture Kits shown on the top corner of the right picture, behind the patient’s head.
Treatment for Folliculitis Decalvans
There is currently no standard effective treatment for Folliculitis Decalvans.
Generally, Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) is treated with systemic antibiotics.
Other treatments may involve a combination of medicated shampoos, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial scalp, oral antibiotics, combinations of antibiotics, steroid injections, steroid creams, lotions, ointments, or more. Yet, most of these general treatments for Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) only offer a temporary, not permanent, solution to the problem.
Known as a relentless condition, treating Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) using the methods mentioned above may only lead to constant visits to the doctor or dermatologist for the patient, such as constant injections, which may not be the best solution for the patient’s overall health. Additionally, due to the relentless nature of this condition, untreated or improperly treated Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) using these methods mentioned above will eventually lead to a worsening of this condition and permanent hair loss.
A SPECIALIZED APPROACH TOWARD THE PERMANENT ELIMINATION OF FOLLICULITIS DECALVANS (FD):
Fortunately, there may be a permanent solution.
Dr. Sanusi Umar, has developed a personalized approach to permanently eliminating Folliculitis Decalvans (FD).
Using his specialized procedures and inventions, he created such as his patented Athena Suture Kits, Dr. Sanusi Umar, AKA The Bumpinator, has been able to successfully eliminate Folliculitis Decalvans (FD) in several happy and satisfied patients using his combination of personal inventions and procedures, laser surgery, non-pharmaceutical botanicals, and in some rare cases, a combination of these elements along with radiation therapy.

FAQ – Commonly Asked Questions Regarding AKN
How do you treat AKN?
Commonly, AKN is treated through creams and ointments, antibiotics, steroid gels, or steroid injections. Still, dermatologists often use these methods to treat AKN; in most cases, these do not work. In some cases, treating AKN with creams and ointments can make it worse.
In Dr. U’s clinic, his proven method of successful permanent AKN removal stems from either regular surgery, laser surgery (which cuts and removes the bumps permanently), and in extreme cases of AKN where AKN plaques, merged nodules, papules, and tumorous masses are so large that it could only be removed by radiation therapy.
Some of the examples of notable, successful AKN patients that have been treated through this method can be seen below:
The inflamed bumps recognizable as AKN can grow larger and larger, and often as the condition worsens over time, it can become much more painful.
AKN nodules are known to pop and bleed, sometimes several times a day.
These AKN bumps can merge without adequate treatment and create even worse bumps or plaques.
Therefore, treating AKN as soon as possible is highly recommended to avoid further pain, worsening of the condition, and the medical costs associated with treating it.

FAQ – Commonly Asked Questions Regarding AKN
What can I do to prevent my AKN from getting worse?
Due to AKN bumps being painful and often itchy, it is common for AKN patients to scratch, rub, or pop AKN bumps.
Yet, scratching, rubbing, or shaving the back of your head or neck where AKN bumps lay may cause your AKN to worsen.
It is also best to keep the area where your AKN bumps are as clean as possible while touching or irritating it as little as possible.
Suppose you have AKN or suspect that you have AKN. In that case, it is best to schedule a free consultation with Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, using the button above to diagnose and treat your AKN immediately – before the situation worsens into something more painful, significant, and harder to manage.
What are some signs of AKN worsening?
AKN follows many stages, as shown in Dr. U’s AKN Classification Types Chart.
Signs of AKN worsening can be seen in the growth of merged papules, nodules, bumps, plaques, and more.
Typically, if your AKN bumps are getting bigger, it is a clear sign that your AKN is growing in severity and, therefore, should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
As one can see from the AKN Classification Chart mentioned above, AKN can spread to the whole back of the head or converge together into a large tumor or plaque that is hard to hide and manage.
How big can AKN bumps get?
Unfortunately, AKN is known to worsen over time, meaning that AKN bumps can grow in size ranging from their depth, width, the affected area, and more.
Many cases of severe AKN require extensive treatment such as radiation therapy and laser removal to remove successfully.
Whether you have AKN bumps in the size of small peas, or AKN bumps in the size of wide scars or bands, plaques, nodules, or more on the back of your head, it is best to consult with a dermatologist who has had extensive experience with AKN, such as Dr. Umar AKA The Bumpinator.

AKN Classification by Dr. Sanusi Umar
AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae) is often mistaken for something else it is not, such as Barber’s Rash, acne, keloids, or other skin conditions.
Not all dermatologists or doctors who specialize in skin conditions are acutely aware of what AKN is and how to treat it in the best manner possible. Therefore it is best to consult a dermatologist with extensive experience in dealing with AKN to get the best results for AKN removal, whether it be post-surgery results or permanent prevention of AKN reappearance.
Fortunately, if you have come to Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, you have come to the right place.
Due to Dr. U AKA The Bumpinator’s cutting-edge work in AKN research and treatment, from countless successful procedures of AKN removal of all kinds and severities, Dr. U was able to publish an AKN classification system that is currently used at the forefront of modern medicine to help classify and treat AKN patients worldwide, more accurately and effectively.

FAQ – Commonly Asked Questions Regarding AKN
How do I tell if it is AKN, Acne, or Barber’s Rash?
When you have small bumps on the back of your head or scalp, it could be several conditions. Although AKN is not acne or Barber’s Rash, it is a condition that is very similar to it. Yet AKN, unlike acne or barber’s rash, can quickly worsen and develop into something that is much more painful, large, and hard to manage.
In summary, it is best to consult with a qualified AKN specialist such as Dr. U to see what you have and to conclude the best treatment methods.
What causes AKN?
Many rumors have spread around the internet about how dirty razors or shears cause AKN. Many people mistakenly believe that AKN is a form of “barber’s rash.”
This is not true. Recent research states that the root cause of AKN is folliculitis. In plain terms, folliculitis is a condition of ingrown hairs that grow back into the hair root or follicle, irritating it. Although modern medicine and science are still studying the root cause of AKN extensively, it is widely concluded by doctors and scientists that AKN stems from this folliculitis and the body or scalp’s inflammation as a response to it.
In summary, AKN is caused due to ingrown hair inflaming the hair follicle.
When is the best time to see a Dermatologist for AKN?
AKN is a complicated and relatively new condition. Diagnosing AKN immediately as soon as possible is crucial to prevent it from getting worse and more unmanageable. Coming to the right skin specialist who knows how to treat AKN effectively is also critical.
If you suspect that you have AKN, it is best to see a dermatologist who is an expert in treating AKN, such as Dr. Sanusi Umar, AKA The Bumpinator. You can do so immediately using the “Free Consultation” button above to schedule a free consultation and get your possible AKN bump checked so we can help resolve this issue before it gets out of hand – before the AKN becomes more painful costly, and harder to manage.

“But with [this] treatment, life is changed. I’ve gained a whole new life from this now. Thank you, Dr. Umar, you have changed my life. I recommend anyone that is considering [Dr. U’s AKN removal services]. It is life-changing. There are no other words I can use. Thank you, Dr. Umar, thank you very much.”

Finally Liberated From The Pain of Living with AKN for 20+ Years
Having had AKN since 1998, this man’s AKN had started slowly, with only a few little bumps here and there.
One thing led to another, and next thing you know, he went for another haircut, and another, and “before I knew it, I was 15 years, 20 years into it.”
AKN, for this man, was “something that has bothered my life. It has been quite painful and embarrassing.”
More than 19 Different Dermatologists, Countless Prescribed Medicines, With No Results
Since 1998, “I’ve seen 19+ dermatologists, some of the top-rated dermatologists in the country, and none of them had been able to fix this.”
“I even had an incident where someone prescribed me medicine that almost paralyzed my legs. It has been quite a painful journey. For example, sleeping in hotel rooms has been difficult as I bleed blood on pillowcases. At home, I have to use a different and specific pillow tailored for this (AKN).”
From 1998 – 2021: One Man’s Determined Journey to Find a Solution
“Since 1998, I have been searching for a fix – to be able to live my own life. I first discovered Dr. Umar in 2016, but I thought he was too far and too expensive I regretted doing that because I ended up taking more medications that did not work. But this past December, I decided to suck it up and visit Dr. Umar.”
The Dr. U AKA The Bumpinator: Difference in AKN Removal Results as Clear as Night & Day
“Just the difference between my first and second (AKN) treatment has been as clear as night and day.”
“What has happened to my hair and head had been unbelievable.”

The Bumpinator AKA Dr. U Can Also Help With Natural Hair Growth
In the case of some AKN patients, the accumulative scar tissue, bumps, and other growth around the affected AKN area can result in bald spots or hair loss due to the ingrown hairs returning to the skin instead of protruding out of it. Yet Dr. U cannot only help remove the AKN bumps but also help the patient grow or regrow hair in these bald spots using natural means.
As shown in the video results above, besides this AKN patient’s successful removal of the scar tissue surrounding his AKN, he also reports hair growth in previous bald spots, which has been a result of natural medicines and topical lotions that Dr. U had recommended him – natural hair lotion, hair pomade and hair supplement “GASHEE,” formulated by Dr. Umar himself that you can find here.
As stated by the patient remarks, “I have bumps that were painful and bleeding that now almost do not even exist anymore – they are almost completely flat.”
How Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, Combines His GASHEE Natural Hair Products & His AKN Expertise to Help Patients Recover Holistically From AKN
Can you imagine his excitement and happiness after ridding himself of painful AKN bumps that he had lived through for over 20 years?
In his own words, the now happy patient states, “I am very excited to be here today.”
Not only has his AKN bumps been successfully removed and healed by Dr. U AKA The Bumpinator, but by using recommended natural hair health products Dr.UGro GASHEE, this patient was able to grow hair using natural means in areas of the scalp that are now freed from AKN keloids and growth.
Due to a combination of all of these positive improvements in his appearance and health, self-confidence, and relief, Dr.U, AKA The Bumpinator and his GASHEE Products, as well as his AKN removal services, is “something [he] recommends to anyone who has the same situation as I had.”
“GASHEE has been painless and has worked for me.”
Life After Small Bumps AKN Removal: Living Free From Pain, Fear & More
“Surprisingly, people don’t think things like this [AKN Keloid Bumps] impact life, but I have a 5-year-old who consistently, for 2 years, asked me, “Daddy, what’s wrong with your hair?”
As you can imagine, “It is a painful thing to have to explain.”
“I’ve learned to live with it, but I’m looking forward to the date where I can answer that question differently. I’m looking forward to the date that I don’t even have to worry about in my head. I don’t even worry now because literally, I slept in a hotel room yesterday, and I woke up, and there was zero nothing on the pillow!’
“That’s literally the first time since 1998 where I can sleep on a pillow and not worry about it.”
“I’m looking forward to being able to go to the public and not be afraid of it or be worried that people around me would be looking at my head like, “what’s wrong with this guy. I’m looking forward to normalization, just being normal with my son. I’m looking forward to walking down the street and people not acting like I’m some weird person. I’m looking forward to people feeling comfortable around me.”
After the treatment, this man came home and states how “My son was quite amazed and excited to see the difference after my treatment.”
“My daughter said, “Daddy, this is amazing.”
“It is liberating; life-changing; I can walk down the street and not worry about what people think about me.”

FAQ – Commonly Asked Questions About Removing A Large-Sized AKN Bump
Is AKN Acne?
Although AKN is an abbreviation for “Acne Keloidalis Nuchae,” AKN is not 100% related to acne.
Rather than oils, dirt, or other substances blocking the pores, which happens with regular acne, AKN typically occurs due to an ingrown hair blockage of the hair follicle.
Thus, the ensuing painful and uncomfortable bumps, and scarring which generally accompany AKN, often happen due to the body’s autoimmune or natural responses to these ingrown hairs and the area surrounding these ingrown hair follicles.
Should I see a Dermatologist or Doctor for my AKN?
In one way, AKN is progressive and, for the most part, will continue to grow over time, increasing in size and complexity. Over time, your AKN can worsen and complicate to the point where treating it will be much more challenging.
Due to these factors, it is highly recommended that if you suspect you have AKN, you see a doctor or dermatologist with enough experience in successfully diagnosing and treating AKN.
Yet, it is essential to note that due to AKN being a relatively newly discovered condition in the medical world, there are not too many doctors or dermatologists who can successfully treat AKN.
If you suspect that you have AKN, it is best to see Dr. Sanusi Umar, AKA The Bumpinator, immediately, using the “Free Consultation” button below to schedule a free consultation and get your AKN looked at immediately so we can help resolve this issue immediately before it gets out of hand.
Does AKN Get Worse Over Time?
Yes, AKN can develop into worse and worse conditions over time, especially if left unchecked or untreated. Due to this, AKN can become more painful and more irritating, as well as harder to treat if left untreated and unchecked.
Suppose you think you may have AKN or Acne Keloidalis Nuchae. In that case, it is best to first consult with a licensed and qualified medical professional such as Dr. Umar to understand the core nature of your condition and to help plan an effective countermeasure for it as soon as possible, before this condition gets worse or much harder to treat.

How do I know if the bump or bumps on the back of my head is Acne Keloidalis Nuchae or just regular Acne?
