What is Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)?
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) is a benign skin condition characterized by small, dark bumps that typically appear on the face, particularly on the cheeks and around the eyes. These bumps are usually brown to black and have a smooth or slightly rough surface. DPN is more commonly seen in individuals with a darker skin tone, particularly those of African or Asian descent. DPN removal is a viable option for flawless skin and to prevent irritation. We can remove your dermatosis papulosa nigra in the comfort of your home.
What are the reasons for Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) ?
Sunlight exposure: There could be many reasons for DPN, but the exact cause is unclear. However, multiple researches show a direct relationship between DPN and UV exposure.
This is because DPN bumps appear on areas that are highly visible to sun exposure, such as the neck, head, and upper stores.
Genetic reasons : Almost 40% of patients have a genetic history of DPN.
Fairness creams : Creams that lighten your skin tone also react on your skin.

Treatment for Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is not harmless, and generally, treatment is not required, but it’s a sensitive issue that no one should ignore. Our skin gets scars with time due to DPN. These scars do not look good. It also becomes problematic with time to remove scars. Many individuals want to remove DPN for cosmetic reasons, which becomes itchy. There are two significant ways to treat DPN: surgery and laser treatments.
Laser treatment: Several types of laser therapies can be used to remove DPN growths. These therapies use different frequencies and levels of light to remove bumps on your skin. Here are some laser treatment options for you to consider:
PDL Laser: “PDL” stands for Pulsed Dye Laser, a type of laser commonly used in dermatology for various skin conditions. The pulse dye laser is one of the safest methods to remove DPN. The laser releases a concentrated beam of light at a specific wavelength, primarily targeting hemoglobin, the pigment in blood vessels.
Carbon-dioxide Laser: Carbon-dioxide Laser is an effective option to remove DPN growths. The CO2 laser emits light in the infrared spectrum, and water can absorb its energy in the skin cells.
Surgical Removal: Skin care experts apply topical anesthesia and remove DPN surgically. Surgical methods are Curettage, Electrocautery, and Electrocautery.
Curettage: Curettage is a medical procedure that involves the use of a curette, a spoon-shaped.
Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy is a medical procedure that involves the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze off the bumps and then remove them.
Electrocautery: Cryotherapy is a medical procedure that involves burning bumps with an electric current.
