Skin tag & DPN treatment
Skin Tags and DPN Treatment
Skin tags and dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) are common benign skin growths that can appear on various parts of the body. Skin tags are small, soft pieces of skin that hang off the body, while DPN manifests as small, dark bumps, often found on the face and neck, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones. Treatment options are available for those who wish to remove these growths for cosmetic reasons or discomfort.
