James’ Initial Struggles
When James approached Dr. Sanusi Umar, he was grappling with a combination of scalp problems, including AKN (Acne Keloidalis Nuchae), folliculitis decalvans, and Dissecting Cellulitis of the scalp. Despite undergoing an AKN surgery in 2019, the lesion had returned, leaving James in search of a more permanent solution. The physical and emotional toll of dealing with unsightly lesions, pain, and discomfort had taken a toll on his confidence and well-being.
