“It started when I was 18 years old.” That is the whole point of this chapter. Anwar shares when he first noticed his AKN lesion, right as he was stepping into college with an engineering dream.

If bumps on the nape or posterior scalp keep returning, the right diagnosis matters more than guesswork. What would you do if this started at 18?
