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. To do so, schedule a free video consultation using the “Free Consultation” button above.

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.

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.

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.

“It feels like living in jail because you have to live differently. You have to walk sideways and avoid people so they don’t ask you questions or think about things. For the last 20 years, I’ve carried this weight on my shoulders – and now it’s been lifted.”

“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.”

To see this man’s remarkable progress regarding his AKN and his surgical AKN removal, continue below to see the before and after video results of his AKN removal before and post-treatment by Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator.

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.”

But more so, “Hair [is now] coming out from bald spots that have been bald for the past 15-16 years.”

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.

AKN does not occur “as a result of acne vulgaris, but rather a folliculitis” due to an ingrown hair inflaming the hair follicle.

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.

AKN does not occur “as a result of acne vulgaris, but rather a folliculitis” due to an ingrown hair inflaming the hair follicle.

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.

Does AKN Affect Men of All Hair Types?

AKN is a condition that develops almost exclusively in young, Black, or African American men and men of Hispanic descent.

Where Does AKN Develop?

Generally, AKN develops in the regions near the occipital scalp and posterior neck.

AKN scarring can include keloid-like bumps or outer growth of the skin in these areas, thickening of the skin affected or around the AKN, AKN bumps, other outer growth, and more.

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

In one way, AKN is progressive and, for the most part, will continue to grow over time, increasing in size and complexity.

Additionally, there is often new skin growth, or developments of skin scarring, that is unique in AKN and not found in the case of acne patients.

Suppose this is the case, and you continue to experience skin bumps, developments of pus, increased inflammation, or discomfort. In that case, it is best to have these symptoms checked by a doctor specializing in AKN treatment and removal before the condition complicates or worsens.

Does AKN Get Worse Over Time?

Due to the nature of the condition, AKN can develop into worse and worse conditions over time, especially if left unchecked or untreated.

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 the condition gets worse or much harder to treat.

Is AKN A New Medical Condition?

AKN is a relatively new condition just discovered in the medical world, so there may not be many physicians or licensed medical professionals who may be aware of AKN and its treatment options.

It is recommended that you schedule a consultation as soon as you can with an AKN expert such as Dr. Umar to ensure that the condition does not get worse and so that measures can be taken to prevent further damage as soon as possible.

AKN Bump Removal Testimonial: Patient Can Now Rock Short Hair With No More Worries

Posted on by

AKN Bump Removal Testimonial – Freedom from AKN: This patient struggled with AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae) for quite some time. After living with an unwanted and uncomfortable AKN bump for more than a year, he finally decided it was time to free himself from this painful and itchy bump.

Fortunately, this is where Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, undefeated eliminator of all bumps, comes to the rescue.

Using various original techniques, including Athena Suture Kits and the Batman Incision Method, Dr. U, AKA Dr. Bumpinator, effectively removed the large AKN bump on the bottom back of this patient’s head.

Watch the post-surgery video below for this patient’s AKN Bump Removal Testimonial and other important information Dr. U AKA The Bumpinator, has to say regarding the procedure and recovery!

A Word From The Doctor AKA The Bumpinator – Origin Story

Dr. Umar, known by his alter-ego, The Bumpinator, is a double-licensed dermatologist and pioneer of the AKN removal method. Additionally, Dr. U is also known for his work in developing a new AKN classification system used to help improve AKN treatments. With over 25+ years of experience in the field, Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, is one of a few leading surgeons experienced and able to remove these painful AKN bumps such as those seen in these pictures.

What is AKN? AKA Acne Keloidalis Nuchae

  • Although AKN affects many people from all walks of life, most people do not even know what AKN (Acne keloidalis nuchae) is due to it being newly discovered.
  • AKN, previously known as barber’s rash, is often mistaken by the public as something caused by dirty razors – but that is not always the case.
  • AKN occurs due to ingrown hairs in the follicle, resulting in painful and itchy bumps signifying AKN.
  • Although AKN is a relatively new topic within the medical world, Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, is an experienced surgeon who can effectively treat this condition cleanly and permanently – with results you can see.

Rather than using topicals, creams, or other treatments that do not work and only irritate the skin, The Bumpinator has originated and developed a unique surgical method that can rid AKN bumps permanently and leave patients with a clean, natural-looking hairline.

In this patient’s case, Dr. U used a surgical treatment to remove the large AKN bump residing on the rear bottom of the patient’s head cleanly and effectively.

Learn more about the different services and methods Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, use to treat AKN Patients Here.

7 Months Post-Recovery Picture: AKN Removal Results – Before & After

AKN Removal Results: Large Bump Removal of Acne Keloidalis Nuchae Before & After 7 months post-treatment, results from ATHENA Sutures Method.

Here shows a clear and dramatic difference between the patient’s rear headshot before and after the AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae) Removal Procedure.

Note that this is 7 months after the patient’s AKN removal surgery.

So here in this picture, as you can see, the AKN is all gone. A scar goes from one side to the other, and the new hairline begins at the scar.

This scar defines the new hairline, and the beauty of Dr. U AKA The Bumpinator’s AKN Removal Procedures is that the patient can still receive a clean and natural-looking hairline post-procedure.

In this case, the patient received a natural-looking hairline with the standard hairline shape for a man.

Using The Bumpinator’s patented Athena Tension Sutures, we achieved this desired wide shape to give a more natural-looking hairline and accentuate the patient’s natural beauty.

As mentioned by Dr. U, part of the philosophy behind his successful methods stems from the fact that “It is one thing to get rid of the disease – but we want to do this in a way that is optimal.”

The Philosophy Behind Achieving Natural Beauty – A Word From Dr. U AKA The Bumpinator

“We want to create a natural and healthy look – while getting rid of the disease – that gives the patient a very good chance of feeling whole – natural and normal.”

“After all, we are looking to enhance the beauty already found within ourselves – the natural innate beauty we were born with.”

As for the minor scars below, we can use a lotion to help heal and reduce the scars below.

As the now happy patient would later mention in his patient testimonial video below, “I wish I knew about this [AKN Removal Procedure] earlier – I would have done this earlier!”

When asked by Dr. U if he was satisfied with the results, the patient smiled and said he was “delighted with what I have now.”

“I appreciate all of Dr. U’s help.”

VIDEO: Large AKN Bump Patient Testimonial Post AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae) Procedure, Recovery

 

“So far, so good,” – said The Bumpinator!

Here we have a patient testimony result where the patient and Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, discuss the finer details of the patient’s recovery, what to expect, and other important information regarding the procedure.

When Dr. U asked the patient, “what is the most relief you have found from this surgery,” he happily replied, “[My] confidence! So.”

Before, the patient remarked having to be constantly “conscious of what I was doing,” not to “bump or touch [the bump].” More so, he noted how the bump would tend to get “bloody” sometimes, and it always made him aware when “someone is standing behind,” wondering if maybe that person was looking or staring at the bump, or maybe noticed blood or pus coming out.

Yet now, the significant part of all this is that now this patient is free of all those worries – now “with this [post-procedure] – nobody cares – it is just a normal scar.”

As Dr. U stated, “it is better to have a scar than to have something like that [the AKN bump].”

As mentioned before, this patient used to grow out his hair, sporting an afro to cover up his AKN bump – but now he can easily cut his hair short without worrying about others looking or staring at the back of his head.

Now, this man can sport hair that truly fits him.

Finally, when Dr. U asked the patient what had changed in activities, he happily mentioned that now he can “get up and go” and not have to worry about having to “cover his bump.” What a feeling that is.

Witness One Man’s Journey in Getting Rid of Painful AKN Bumps

Posted on by

Painful AKN Bump Removal – A Step Towards Freedom: This story begins with a man who began to experience symptoms of AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae) about a year and a half ago. From trying multiple over-the-counter medicines and prescribed topicals that did not work, this man was able to make a transformative journey when he met Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator. Read on below and watch this man’s AKN Bump Removal Testimonial Video, where Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, discusses recovery and results post-AKN surgery and what you can expect from this procedure.

Painful AKN Bump Removal: One Man’s Journey

Just as you might imagine, living with AKN is not easy.

As the patient recounted, what was once a few minor bumps, grew bigger and bigger. Soon enough, it was something that could not simply be ignored.

It was time to get help.

“It Felt Like Something Was Holding Me Back”

Like many AKN patients, this patient described his experience living with AKN bumps as “feeling trapped,” as if this condition was “holding him back” from fully living and being himself without judgment from others.

Living With a Painful Secret

On a day-to-day basis, the patient described dealing with AKN as similar to the feeling of “hiding, like hiding a secret – a secret that is painful and itchy.”

It was not comfortable living with AKN – and one of the ways this patient would try to hide his AKN bumps was by getting a face mask and putting it on the back of his head, just so that “no one would see it and ask.”

More so, he emphasized how he did not like for people to look at his AKN bump. Answering strangers’ questions regarding his bump and feeling their comments was not a comfortable feeling, as one can imagine.

After trying pills and topical creams that do not work, he noticed his AKN bump getting bigger and worse. 

Then, the patient decided that he had to do something about this – now!

So like many of us, he went online for answers.

At first, he went to Dr. Pimple Popper, who referred him to Dr. Umar.

And so began the first few steps towards AKN recovery.

The Bumpinator to the Rescue: AKN Removal Results

A Word From The Doctor AKA The Bumpinator – The Man Behind The Myth

Dr. Umar, also known as The Bumpinator, is a dermatologist and pioneer of the AKN removal method. With over 25+ years of experience in the field, including developing research to help classify different types of AKN, Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, is one of a few surgeons experienced and able to remove painful AKN bumps such as these seen on this patient.

Although AKN is a reasonably new condition just recently discovered in the modern medical world, Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, has originated several processes and methods to help permanently remove AKN bumps safely, effectively, and cleanly.

Rather than using topicals or creams or other treatments that do not work and only irritate the skin, The Bumpinator has originated a particular surgical method and recovery process that can rid AKN bumps permanently and leave patients with a clean, natural-looking hairline.

In this patient’s case, Dr. U used a surgical treatment to remove the large AKN bump on the rear bottom of the patient’s head cleanly and effectively.

Continue below to see the before and after results post-surgery!

The Day of the Surgery

When asked before his surgery, “what do you expect or hope for from this procedure,” the patient mentioned, “hopefully, it’s going to be gone.”

The patient elaborated on how living with AKN has been “stressful” and that if the AKN bump was gone, “it’s going to give me my self-esteem back, my confidence.”

Three Months Post-Surgery: A Clean Look & A Dashing Hairline

AKN Removal: Patient Before and After Surgery Results via Bumpinator AKA Dr. U.

Using various original surgical methods, including the Athena Suture Kits and the Batman Incision Method, Dr. U, AKA Dr. Bumpinator, effectively removed the large AKN bump on the bottom back of the patient’s head.

More so, Dr. U was able to form closure in the back of the head, which gave the patient a clean, natural-looking hairline.

Note the back excision, which was carefully and deliberately done to create a natural-looking and masculine hairline – similar to a wide “V” shape. This is desired as it creates a hairline that seems natural and pleasant to the human eye.

As mentioned by Dr. U, part of the philosophy behind his successful methods stems from the fact that “It is one thing to get rid of the disease – but we want to do this in a way that is optimal.”

“We want to create a natural and healthy look – while getting rid of the disease – that gives the patient a good chance of feeling whole – natural and normal.”

After all, we are looking to enhance the beauty already found within ourselves – the innate natural beauty we were born with.

In 3 months post-surgery, much of the patient’s wounds have closed and healed as expected.

As Dr. U noted, more healing is expected, in this case, up to 3-6 months post-surgery, but everything has been moving great.

When asked how he feels now, 3 months after surgery, the patient notes that he “felt great.”

Happy and confident, the patient was ready to tackle the world with his new innate freedom and confidence.

He specifically mentioned how he feels much better now and is “able to get out more.”

More so, the patient reports now how “having confidence is a great feeling.”

Just imagine what it feels like to be able to move around publicly with this new boost in self-confidence!

Before & After AKN Removal: A Boost in Confidence

Before the surgery, the patient would state how he felt “a whole lot of irritation” on the back of his head and scalp and that his AKN bump made him “feel some type of way.”

Back then, the patient would try to wear hats to cover his bump – but now, he no longer has to worry about that.

Finally, when asked by Dr. U, “if you were to do this again – would you do it?”

The patient replied: “of course, no doubt, it’s been amazing – an amazing experience.”

“I would recommend anyone to see Dr. U if you have this condition – do not let it get any worse – because the more time you take, the worse it’s going to get.”

“Just come in and see what you can do with the doctor – hope you guys can work something out.”

FAQ – Commonly Asked Questions About Removing A Large-Sized AKN Bump

I Heard that AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae) Only Affects Men of Color. Is This True?

Yes, AKN, also known as Acne Keloidalis Nuchae, primarily affects young black men, although there have also been many cases of AKN found in male patients of Hispanic descent.

AKN is a reasonably new subject in modern medicine, and from studies of what we have now, we can safely conclude that AKN is caused by ingrown hair follicles and the body, skin, and immune system’s reaction toward these ingrown hairs. This seems to particularly affect men of color due to curly or afro-textured hair having a significantly higher chance of being ingrown and stuck within these hair follicles, resulting in inflammation, new skin growth, bacteria, or pus, and other commonly seen symptoms of AKN.

Is There a Limit to How Big AKN Bumps Can Get?

AKN is a progressive condition that can continue to grow and worsen over time in terms of depth and area affected. Although this patient does show a noticeable bump within his rear occipital region near the back of his neck, there have been worse cases of AKN seen and treated by Dr. U, AKA  The Bumpinator. Although AKN bumps within this size are uncommon, leaving your AKN bumps untreated will often lead to a worsening condition that will take more time and resources to treat. As with any problem, it is best to resolve it immediately as soon as possible. Due to the ongoing nature of the condition, it is highly recommended that patients suffering from AKN contact an AKN expert such as Dr. U immediately to minimize the growth of AKN and treat it before it gets any worse.

How This Big Lucky AKN Bear Overcame His Breaking Point – Part 1

Posted on by

The story of Dr.Bumpinator’s patient, Robert Peeters represents an extreme and unique case of severe AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae)  which he struggled with for nearly 20 years. His major turning point on this journey came when he discovered the work of Dr.Bumpinator.

Continue to the video below to witness the beginning of one man’s remarkable journey of personal transformation.

VIDEO: Acne Keloidalis Nuchae – The Story of Bob – Part 1

When It All Started

Robert (aka @thebigluckybear on Instagram) had a very normal childhood. He was just like all the other kids.

AKN patient’s mother proudly shows a picture of what he looked like as a toddler

However, things changed at age  10 when small bumps started to appear on the back of his neck. Doctors thought they were warts. They did not know that these seemingly harmless bumps were actually the initial signs of Acne Keloidalis Nuchae. As a result of this misdiagnosis, Robert’s condition grew progressively worse.

Between the ages of 14-16, Robert started experiencing baldness as his AKN continued to spread throughout his scalp, contributing to a condition known as CVG (Cutis Verticis Gyratum). He also developed a different form of follicular inflammation known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, along with severe rhinophyma.

Different dermatologists prescribed Accutane, antibiotics, and all types of steroids.

Yet, not one of them was able to offer surgery as a way to actually remove the worsening bump outgrowths.

Things Change For the Better – Meeting Dr.Bumpinator

Robert discusses his experience with Acne Keloidalis Nuchae

Robert felt terribly dismayed as his condition continued to get worse. Discharge and bleeding became issues for his choice of clothing (e.g. no white shirts) as well as bedding. Constant itching kept him up at night. Also, his condition adversely affected his professional and personal life. Uncomfortable social interactions became a regular part of his existence (e.g. children noticing and commenting, adults shying away from him, etc.).

Though he enjoys camping, hunting, and fishing, Robert’s severe AKN condition required that he remain in the city where he has easy access to hot running water and soap to keep up with his hygiene routine.

Robert’s AKN breaking point

 

 

Scar tissue destroyed many of the hair follicles on this AKN patient’s scalp

Inflammation associated with Robert’s conditions caused a back-of-the-head appearance that made him feel self-conscious.

 

Robert’s life started to change for the better when he learned that the term, Acne Keloidalis Nuchae applied to his condition. He decided to find a doctor who specialized in the removal of AKN. After conducting a search on You Tube, he discovered the doctor who would be able to actually help him, Dr. Bumpinator himself whom he described as “the only doctor who had the actual procedure done” and the only doctor that he noticed “who was actually physically treating the disease.”

 

Surgically removing the unwanted tissue growths on his head would pave the way for a more normal-looking appearance.

Dr.Bumpinator’s first line of attack was to assuage Robert’s symptoms and discomfort and observe how his condition would respond. He prescribed the following medications.

  • Antibiotics
  • An anti-inflammatory known as Colchicine
  • Finasteride

He also recommended a topical formulation of Turmeric to help reduce some of the inflammation associated with Robert’s condition.

Though radiation is used in cancer treatment, it can also be used in the treatment of AKN for certain situations, like Robert’s.

After seeing no improvement, Dr.Bumpinator had Robert undergo radiation treatment to help destroy unwanted tissue. This was then followed by surgery.

The next phase of Robert’s treatment and personal transformation would involve the physical removal of his AKN, CVG, and pseudofolliculitis barbae.

Beyond this, Dr.Bumpinator also wanted to help this special patient achieve a normal-looking appearance so that he could start to experience life just like everyone else.

See what happens next in Part II of Robert’s journey with Dr.Bumpinator here.

Do You Suffer from Painful Bumps on Your Scalp or Back Head, Neck Area?

If you suspect that you have unwanted bumps, small or large, around your scalp area, or on the back of your head or neck, please feel free to consult with Dr. Sanusi Umar, AKA Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator – some of these conditions, such as AKN, can be a relentless disease. It can easily worsen if left untreated, and still worsen if treated improperly through improper means.

With Dr. U AKA The Bumpinator, you rest assured that with over 20+ years of experience as a double licensed dermatologist and pioneer in the field of AKN research and surgery, Dr. U has got you covered.

Dr.Pimple Popper Teams Up With Dr.Bumpinator

Posted on by

A patient named Reginald turned to Dr.Pimple Popper to get rid of a massive tissue growth on the back of his scalp which had developed folds and extensions. Other doctors had told him that it was a keloid. However, according to Dr.Pimple Popper, this was the product of three conditions:

Reginald’s problem was too big for her to handle alone. So she decided to contact Dr.Bumpinator for help.

 

A Twenty Year Problem

According to Reginald, living with his AKN, CVG, and keloid growth was difficult. Not only was it tender and itchy when touched, but it was also sticky, smelled bad, bled, and oozed pus.

Radiation caused it to actually get bigger. Reggie’s devoted wife Carla even takes part in helping to manage it. Due to the fact that hair grew between the folds, she had to shave these areas and apply topical medication when it leaked.

Reggie also had to wear a hat all the time, even on his wedding day.

In fact, he never went anywhere without some type of hat. He and his wife did not like the fact that children would scream, stare, point, ask questions or comment that he looked like he is from the walking Dead.

Despite wearing a hat, Reggie still couldn’t hide his condition completely. Some AKN tissue started to form on his neck.

Acne Keloidalis Nuchae is not a condition that relents or really stops. Reggie’s problem continued to progress.

Too Big For Dr.Pimple Popper To Handle

Due to the size of Reginald’s tumor, Dr.Pimple Popper didn’t think she could get rid of it, saying that it was “beyond my abilities.”

There were two major issues associated with his excision.

  1. Where to get new skin to close the final wound
  2. The likelihood of recurrence.

She then decided to contact one of her dermatology colleagues

Dr.Pimple Popper Calls Dr.Bumpinator

Dr. Pimple Popper and Dr.Bumpinator team up in the fight against AKN

Dr.Pimple Popper decided to get in touch with her friend, Sanusi Umar MD (aka Dr.Bumpinator). She sent him photos of Reginald’s condition and asked if he could help.

Although Reggie’s case seemed dire, Dr.Bumpinator saw hope, noting, “the extra skin-scalp laxity helps.”

In other words, the excess skin surface area would prove useful for closing the excisional wound. At the end of his phone call with Dr.Pimple Popper, he confidently confirmed, “I’ll be glad to take him.”

Dr.Pimple Popper remarked, “I am really pleased that Reggie is going to be in the best hands.”

After meeting Dr.Bumpinator in person, Reginald was confident this new doctor could get the job done. Dr.Bumpinator helped him feel comfortable by “explaining more and giving more details [about] what he was gonna do.”

Reginald was very happy that he was finally getting the help he needed, saying that this was the “best news I’ve heard in years…This is going to change my life tremendously.”

Bumpinator – “We Have to Do This As A-Team”

Dr. Pimple Popper decided to be at Reginald’s procedure to watch his surgery. As a patient, he was given laughing gas to manage both anxiety and pain. Instead of being asleep, he was to remain awake.

Since the lower back of the scalp was prone to heavy bleeding, Carla was worried about what could happen. Due to this risk, Dr. Bumpinator and his team made sure to closely monitor Reginald’s heart rate and blood pressure.

To excise the massive bump, Dr.Bumpinator used a device to cut and cauterize the tissue. He managed to successfully remove the unwanted tissue mass all in one piece. Reggie felt lighter afterward due to its weight.

The Challenge: What To Do About the Big Hole

Excising the unwanted AKN tumor was a big milestone. But the actual hard part was closing the big hole which remained afterward. According to Dr. Pimple Popper, major complications could arise if large areas like this are not closed properly.

Dr.Bumpinator’s Athena Tension Sutures Made All The Difference

Dr.Bumpinator developed an amazing method for closing huge AKN wounds after surgery

 

So what is the best way to close a large-size AKN surgical wound?

Dr.Bumpinator explains, “When I remove the lesion, we’ll be left with a wide wound…And my goal is to bring those wound edges as close together as possible without actually having them touch each other…We have developed an implement to assist with that process.”

So what’s wrong with just using regular sutures alone?

According to Dr.Bumpinator, “If we use anything ordinary, the suture will just cut right through the tissue.”

The gap between the wound is an important detail needed for Reggie’s outcome. It was left open on purpose.

Dr. Bumpinator’s rationale for not closing AKN wounds completely following a procedure

Here’s the rationale, according to Dr.Bumpinator, “with the tension suture kit holding that wound just slightly apart, what happens is the wound now will try to do the rest of the work.”

Dr. Pimple Popper further explains, “It’s almost as if letting this heal a little bit is a signal to your body to really send more resources in there and help to fix that wound.”

Dr.Bumpinator devotes his work to help real people feel unashamed of the back of their head after their AKN removal

Says Dr.Bumpinator, “I want Reggie to come out with a back of the head that he will not be ashamed to show to the world.”

Due to his advanced innovative surgical techniques, Dr. Bumpinator’s patients are left with a discrete and natural-looking scar that they don’t have to feel self-conscious about.

Though Reginald’s case seems difficult, it was certainly not impossible for Dr.Bumpinator to handle.

 

 

 

 

 

This Man No Longer Stresses About Military Shaved Head Regulations, Thanks to Dr. Bumpinator’s AKN Removal

Posted on by

This gentleman, a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, developed AKN bumps on the back of his scalp. Due to military shaved head requirements, these tissue lesions became a major source of distress. After undergoing failed treatment at a different provider, he then decided to seek help from none other than Dr.Bumpinator himself.

 

 

Before Photos – A Growing AKN Problem Prevents This Patient From Having A “Career Must” Military Crew Cut

Acne Keloidalis Nuchae bumps started to grow and merge on the lower part of this patient’s scalp, forming an awkward-looking region of thick, bumpy collagen.

Contrary to urban myth, this had nothing to do with dirty clippers. According to Dr. Bumpinator, AKN is a genetically predisposed condition that causes the skin to react adversely to a close razor shave.

Due to his Acne Keloidalis Nuchae lesion, this patient would not be able to wear his hair short, according to military shaved head requirements. His condition became an issue for his career path in the military.

Although another provider had prescribed Accutane, a toxic oral medication recommended for acne vulgaris (i.e., common acne), this treatment did not eliminate this patient’s AKN bumps.

 

The patient’s AKN lesions would show through a short military-style haircut.

The patient’s genetic predisposition led to the development of Acne Keloidalis Nuchae bumps.

One of the reasons why Dr.Bumpinator succeeds in permanently removing AKN where others fail is that he classifies each patient case to pair them with the right surgical method. He can achieve permanent, long-term remission (i.e., bumps do not come back), whereas standard conventional treatments only keep the AKN at bay.

For this particular patient case, Dr.Bumpinator decided to apply a surgical technique that he developed at his clinic, along with a proprietary tool that he invented [1]. Here he is at work.

Dr.Bumpinator’s special surgical approach not only eliminated the unwanted AKN tissue but also left a clean linear scar aligned with the patient’s posterior hairline. See his before and after photos below.

Frequently Asked Questions – Needing to Meet Military Crew Cut Regulations? What to Know About Treating Acne Keloidalis Nuchae

Why do drugs not work for treating AKN?

Acne Keloidalis Nuchae is a condition where the skin overreacts and profusely produces collagen. Drugs can’t subtract or eliminate this unwanted tissue. They can only address the issue of inflammation and symptoms of discomfort, such as pain, itching, and swelling.

It seems that everyone says that dirty razor clippers cause razor bumps and Acne Keloidalis Nuchae.  Is this actually true?

AKN can develop whether or not the clippers used are clean or dirty. The real cause is not bacteria or microbes but how your skin reacts to the ingrowth of hair. This response is different from person to person and determined by genetics.

Are there any at-home treatments or over-the-counter products that can help with AKN?

Unfortunately no. Again, Acne Keloidalis Nuchae is really a condition that is contingent on how your skin behaves and responds to ingrown hair shafts. No topical treatment, kitchen ingredient, or DIY formulation can change this.

Can You Tell That This Man Had AKN Surgery? See His Final Scar Outcome

Posted on by

This patient first came to see Dr.Bumpinator after an eight-year struggle with Acne Keloidalis Nuchae – AKN. Before this, he tried a nonsurgical approach at a different clinic using steroid injections. However, this did not get rid of his bump lesion. He then decided to choose Dr.Bumpinator as his service provider, hoping to achieve a discrete and inconspicuous linear scar. With Dr.Bumpinator’s surgical method to produce the best Acne Keloidalis Nuchae treatment results, this patient would also be able to have his final scar covered with his own hair growth.

 

 

 

Before Photos – AKN Class I Plaque

Due to the size and location of this patient’s bump lesions, this patient was categorized as an AKN Class I Plaque, according to Dr.Bumpinator’s system of classification.

The patient’s AKN bump is vertically narrow and located in the upper nuchal region.

This patient’s AKN is classified as a Class I plaque, according to Dr.Bumpinator’s categorization schema.

Dr.Bumpinator’s categorization schema helps patients by allowing them to be matched with the most appropriate treatment format. By pairing specific cases with fitting methods, it is possible to expect the best possible cosmetic outcome (1) reliably.

For this patient’s procedure, the most obvious starting point was to remove the actual AKN bump lesion through surgical excision. Dr.Bumpinator’s innovative surgical method would then result in a thin linear scar covered by the patient’s own hair growth.

Here are images of this patient’s outcome, taken 14 years after his procedure with Dr.Bumpinator. Due to the successful growth of hair through the final linear scar, it is not even obvious that this patient had undergone any surgical removal or that AKN was even a problem in the first place. Can you tell that he even had a procedure done?

Frequently Asked Questions – AKN Removal

Should I see a dermatologist get rid of my AKN bumps?

Acne Keloidalist Nuchae removal requires a specialized treatment approach. Many doctors (dermatologists included) lack the expertise required to eliminate lesions and keep them from coming back permanently.  Patients are often prescribed drug medications, injections, topicals, etc. However, these will not actually get rid of the unwanted tissue. Although AKN can be excised using surgery, Dr.Bumpinator recommends classifying each patient case to determine specific protocols for removal. It’s important to realize that the end goal is not just to get rid of the Acne Keloidalis Nuchae bumps but also to leave behind the most natural-looking final scar.  This will require more advanced surgical methods. You will need to see a true specialist.

Is Acne Keloidalis Nuchae the same as razor bumps?

AKN starts as tiny bumps, resulting from close razor shaves on the back of the head. However, what makes them different from ordinary razor (shaved haircut) bumps is how the person’s skin responds. Affected individuals have a genetic predisposition to produce prolific collagen as a reaction to ingrown hair. Their immune systems mistake the hair shaft as a threat. The collagen is intended to heal the damage resulting from these attacks. So really, AKN does start as what appears to be regular razor bumps. But the bumps themselves (in predisposed individuals) are really starting a progressive and chronic skin issue.

Does AKN come back after surgical removal?

It really depends on how the surgical excision and wound closure was performed. Bumps are more like to return if the surgeon does not excise deeply enough to remove the affected tissue. Also, they can come back if the wrong wound closure method is used. Dr.Bumpinator has developed methods that aim towards long-term and permanent outcomes that patients can be happy with in the end.
