Overview
Acne keloidalis nuchae is a skin condition in which the back of the neck develops inflamed bumps. These bumps can grow larger as the condition progresses and can become painful; without treatment these bumps can result in large scars known as keloids. Acne keloidalis nuchae is seen almost exclusively in black men. The condition may be related to irritation from shaving, skin infection, or a problem with the immune system.
