My name is Arlin Potts also known as Hermit-King from the youtube video titled “Popping My Infected Football Sized Keloid (3 Months of Collecting)” and I’m starting this gofundme because everyone desperately wanted to help me get this removed and due to me not having an income to save up for surgery. I’ve had this painful infected football keloid for 9 years it constantly gives me fevers and chills 1 - 2 times a month. The first large bump I had on my head was removed in 2012 which was smaller in comparison to the current one, it was removed by using obamacare insurance by a plastic surgeon that I was referred to. I was unable to continue treatment due to being over obamacares age limit which is age 26 and not being able to afford treatment to prevent the keloid from growing back again. I have been dealing with keloid and acne problems since 2003 because of a haircut from dirty clippers and for not using alcohol which all africans need to use after getting haircuts.

Also due to my current disability called anhidrosis, a rare skin condition when the body completely stops sweating which causes an unbearable itching burning sensation when you’re not cool enough and can lead to heatstrokes or even death if the body isn’t cooled down quickly enough, I have to stay in places thats cool and without ac its a problem for me so I have to carry a spray bottle filled with water, portable fan, and a ice pack with me everywhere I go. I’m unable to go places far away during the day because of anhidrosis, not having my own car or someone to take me to get to places doesn’t help either.

I’m also dealing with a pilonidal cyst on my tailbone thats been there for 15 years from slipping and landing directly on my tailbone on a stair step, it caused me to drop out of highschool in my junior year due to severe pain, depression, and being unable to sit down, it constantly leaks blood or pus when its infected, and I also have 4 golfballl sized cysts in my waist area and below for 6 years. I also have severe folliculitis on my scalp thats painful to touch.

Here is a video of my problem and some clearer pictures of my keloid and scalp problem.
