what is dpn

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) is a skin condition characterized by the presence of small, dark, or skin-colored bumps on the face, neck, and upper torso. It typically affects individuals with darker skin tones, such as those of African and Asian descent, and tends to run in families. The bumps caused by DPN are usually harmless and don't cause any health risks, but some people may seek treatment for cosmetic reasons. Treatment options for DPN include cryotherapy, electrocautery, and laser therapy. Since treatment is usually performed for cosmetic reasons, it is not covered by insurance and is an out- of-pocket expense
