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.
Where is AKN found on the body?
As stated by Cleveland Clinic, AKN is found around the hair follicles on the neck and the back of the scalp [1].
Additionally, Dr. U, AKA The Bumpinator, has published a medical journal detailing the first AKN classification system [2]. This system is currently used by doctors worldwide to help classify and treat AKN. In the picture below, you can see the main target areas of AKN, as well as their different forms from discrete papules, nodules, merged papules, nodules, plaque, and tumorous mass.

How Does AKN Start?
The beginning stages of Acne Keloidalis Nuchae can be caught with red, itchy bumps, papules, or red patches of skin.
These papules often get infected due to scratching, leading to pustules – pockets of pus similar in appearance to pimples.
