While there is no definitive cure for DPN, several treatment options are available for those seeking to remove the bumps. Here are some ways to remove DPN: Surgical Removal: Techniques such as curettage, scissor excision, shave excision, cryosurgery, electrodessication, dermabrasion, and laser removal can be used depending on the size and location of the bumps. Liquid Nitrogen: A dermatologist may use liquid nitrogen to freeze off the bumps. Electrodesiccation: A dermatologist can also use electrodesiccation to zap the bumps with an electric current from a probe. This is Dr. Rokhsar’s preferred method as it offers the safest and most effective procedure for painless removal of DPN. Dr. Rokhsar often combines light electrocautery, with our advanced pigment lasers, to safely and permanently remove DPNS on the face, neck, around the eyes and eyelids, chest, and back of patients of all skin colors or races including black, brown, hispanic, asian, indian and caribbean skin without scarring or pigmentary problems. A numbing cream is applied first for 30-60 mintees prior to the laser DPM removal procedure. Then, the DPN growths are individually treated with lasers or cautery one by one. Depending on the number of lesions treated, the procedure can take a few minutes to half an hour. In a single session, all DPN lesions can be treated and removed successfully regardless of if you have a few, hundreds or thousands of DPN growths on your face, neck or chest. Dr. Rokhsar is an expert in treating DPNs on dark skin without scarring or any color change. While DPNs are not harmful, individuals should consult with a dermatologist before attempting to remove the bumps. Dr. Rokhsar can provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate treatment for each individual’s specific condition. It is also recommended to avoid applying makeup, including blush, to the treated area for three to four days after treatment to avoid any complications. The DPN treated areas should be kept moist with some vaseline for a few days for fast healing and kept away from the sun.
