Causes and Treatment of Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is a benign skin condition that manifests as black or brown papules on the skin that are flat and raised from the surface. These mole-like bumps are usually between 1-5mm in size. They are typically seen on the cheeks, forehead, neck and torso.  For some patients, DPN occurs as under eye moles.
