Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: The first cohort of the study will enroll a total of 12 subjects. In the second part of the study, subjects will be a randomized to additional two-arm cohorts. Subjects will be randomized to one of the following 2 treatment arms:

* A-101 40% without medically abrading the identified DPN prior to treatment
* A-101 40% with the identified DPN lesions medically abraded prior to treatment
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Evaluate the safety and efficacy of hydrogen peroxide, A-101 Solution 40% for the treatment of DPN lesions on subjects with a Fitzpatrick Skin Type of 5 or 6.

Detailed description: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hydrogen peroxide, A-101 Solution 40% for the treatment of DPN lesions on subjects with a Fitzpatrick Skin Type of 5 or 6.

The secondary objectives of this study include:

* Durability of response
* Safety

An exploratory objective of this study will evaluate the subject's assessment of the treatment of A-101 to DPN lesions using a Subject Self-Assessment Scale.
