Introduction to DPN Removal
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) is a common skin condition characterized by small, dark bumps that usually appear on the face, neck, and upper body. These harmless growths, often mistaken for moles, are more common in darker skin tones and increase with age.

Why Do People Seek DPN Removal?
Many individuals opt for DPN removal due to aesthetic reasons, skin irritation, or a boost in self-confidence. Although harmless, these dark spots can be bothersome, especially when they grow in noticeable areas.
Who Is the Right Candidate for DPN Removal?
If you experience discomfort, irritation, or simply wish to enhance your skin’s appearance, you may be a good candidate for DPN removal. Ideal candidates should have no active skin infections and be free from severe dermatological conditions.
Methods of DPN Removal
Laser Treatment – The most effective and precise method
Electrocautery – Uses electric current to burn off the lesions
Cryotherapy – Freezing DPN with liquid nitrogen
