Understanding DPN
What is DPN?
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is a common, benign skin condition that appears as small, dark, raised bumps, often on the face, neck, chest and back.
It is especially common in people with African, Asian or Caribbean heritage. Although DPN is medically harmless, some people choose cosmetic removal.

WOB Beauty specialises in DPN removal for melanin-rich skin using electrolysis short-wave diathermy. Your skin and treatment area are assessed before treatment.
Does DPN removal hurt?
The treatment is described as involving minimal discomfort. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness can occur around the treated area afterwards.
What is the recovery time?
Early redness can settle within a few days, while scabbing and pigmentation changes can take longer to fade. Your aftercare guidance explains what to expect for your treatment area.
