What is Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra?
These are smooth, brown to black dome-shaped little spots or papules present mainly on the cheeks, though can occur on neck and upper chest. These are actually just very small seborrhoeic keratoses, but unlike Seborrhoeic Keratosis, they do not scale or crust. They also occur most often on darker skins and is a common papular disorder which develops in adolescence.
What is the cause of Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra?
Genetics, age and sun exposure.
How are Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra removed?
Easily and successfully treated with Thermolysis techniques, the lesions are gently scraped off the face usually leaving no mark. Post hyper-pigmentation can be a contra-action; therefore, we will carry out a small patch test area to check how the skin heals and if this is successful, we will then book you in for the rest of the blemishes to be treated.
