What is Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra?
DPN papules appear in groups and are a very common skin condition. They’re small, typically 1 to 5mm in diameter, and are usually black or brown in colour.
​
Dermatosis papulosa nigra can affect everyone, from young people to older adults. This skin condition usually starts appearing in adolescents and is characterised by smooth, round, and flat freckles. As you grow older, the number and texture of the papules start changing. They grow in size and appear rough to the sight and touch. Some DPNs even develop small skin tag-like flaps known as peduncles.
DPN papules don’t go away on their own, so if you want to get DPN removal treatment, book your blemish consultation today.



I had skin tags on my neck and underarms treated over 2 sessions. The results were amazing and I was so pleased with the overall experience. Really professional and friendly. Thank you!

I was so pleased Charlotte could remove a mole I’d had (and hated) my whole life. It was a simple straight forward procedure and I was really happy with results. I would highly recommend Charlotte.

Charlotte removed a blood spot from my nose, it was causing me to not have confidence and kept bleeding, Charlotte was amazing and professional and explained everything including aftercare.

What Causes DPN?
The exact cause of DPN isn’t known. But you’re most likely to be affected by dermatosis papulosa nigra if you have a darker skin tone. People of Asian, African, and Hispanic descent are more likely to experience DPN growths.
​
Prolonged exposure to UV rays is also a risk factor. Plus, people who have a family history of dermatosis papulosa nigra are more likely to develop it.
DPN Removal
At The Blemish Clinic, we preschedule every DPN removal treatment to offer our patients a professional, confidential and comfortable environment.
​
Before the treatment is conducted, you’ll have the chance to ask questions about the process of DPN removal. The advanced electrolysis procedure can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of growths being treated. If a follow-up session is required, we’ll discuss this with you on the day.
