AB A  young  African-American  man  comes  to  the  office  because  he  has  been  bothered  by  the  uncomfortable  bumps  on  the  back  of  his  neck  and  lower  scalp  (Figure  120-1).  He  likes  to  wear  his  hair  short  but  notices  that  every  times  he  shaves  his  scalp,  the  bumps  on  his  scalp  get  irritated.  He  is  diagnosed  with  acne  keloidalis  nuchae.  It  was  suggested  that  he  minimize  shaving  the  scalp  and  let  the  hair  grow  out  a  bit  longer.  Additional  treatment  consisted  of  0.025%  tretinoin  cream  and  0.1%  triamcinolone  cream  once  to  twice  daily  to  the  involved  area.
