Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (ILTA) is an effective and safe treatment for acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN), a chronic condition affecting the occipital scalp and posterior neck. The treatment significantly reduces inflammation, pruritus, and lesion size, with high patient satisfaction and rare side effects when used at appropriate concentrations. Combining ILTA with antibiotics, laser, or surgery can enhance long-term outcomes, making it a practical and cost-effective therapy for managing AKN.
