Abstract:
Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) is a progressive inflammatory condition that affects posterior neck and occiput. Treatment options include antibiotics, steroids, lasers, radiotherapy and surgery. We present three patients with advanced 'tumor-stage' AKN that underwent radical local excision followed by either immediate or delayed skin resurfacing, and briefly review existing literature.
