Suggest Permanent Cure For Dematosis Paulosa Nigra
Hi. I am an Indian National. Female 26yrs old. I am currently suffering from Dermatosis Paulosa Nigra. Its getting annoying. Day by day the spots are increasing. My papules are almost flat,dark brown in color, around my eyes ,cheeks and chin. I am a young girl and beauty matters to me a lot. Is there any definite treatment to remove them forever. I asked my doctor here. But she says it can t be treated without scar marks.

Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
No doubt, Dermatosis papulosa Nigra (DPN) is just a cosmetic concern, however, for a young girl it surely can be a cause of significant anxiety.
The good news is that it is easily amenable to treatment with either a radiofrequency cautery Or a CO 2 Laser Vaporization.
There is no scaring whatsoever because DPN lesions are epidermal (superficial).
After the procedure you would have superficial scabs that would last just for a week and you need to apply a topical antibacterial till they fall off.
Once the scabs fall off, it would reveal an absolutely normal skin.
I reiterate, there is no scaring at all.
I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region regarding the most appropriate method of removal.
Regards
