Abstract :

Dermatosis papulosis nigra is small facial papules, originally descried in African Americans, but seen in darker skinned patients of many other races. It appears to be a variant of seborrheic keratosis. Until recently, cryotherapy has been the treatment of choice for these lesions. DPN is a variant of seborrheic keratosis. These tiny facial papules resemble tiny melanoacanthomas. The 532 nm KTP laser was highly effective at clearing extensive Dermatosis papulosis nigra while avoiding the pigmentary complication that is the bane of conventional treatments for this disorder of darker skinned patients.
