What is DPN?
Dermatosis papulosa nigra, or DPN, are harmless, often hereditary growths. They tend to appear around the cheeks, eyes, forehead and neck, and they’re especially common in Black skin.
DPN are benign, but many people choose to remove them for smoother, clearer-looking skin. Removed spots don’t usually come back, though new ones can form over time.
