Initially, lesions of (AKN) appear as red or pus filled bumps, which may be tender or itchy, over time, these inflamed bumps develop into small scars, without treatment, the small scars can coalesce, raise into large, thick tough scars and form or look like Keloids. Generally its a chronic skin condition characterized by inflamed bumps and scars, most common locations of (AKN) may include, back of the neck (posterior) along the hair line and lower back of the scalp (occipital), though its looks like common acne (vulgaris) but its a type of folliculitis
In certain cases areas of widespread scarring may be associated with hair loss, and in most cases advanced (AKN) lesions can also develop deep pockets of pus with connections to the surface of the skin, and a foul smelling discharge may ooze from these sinus tracts, the exact root cause of the condition is not clear but sometimes its a result of genetic mutations, constant irritation, inflammation of hair follicles due to close shaving, medications, diabetes, HIV, syphilis, sharing uncleaned hair cut machines and clothes with those who already have AKN, skin infections, fake, expired and substandard cosmetic products among others
