Hi doctor,
I am planning to remove the DPN present on my face. What is the most effective procedure? I heard that electrocautery and carbondioxide laser helps to manage it. Which of these two procedures has the best outcome? Is there a better procedure other than these two?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
DPN (dermatosis papulosis nigra) is often removed effectively using electric cauterization as it requires less number of sittings and it is cost-effective. DPN removal using cauterization takes around two sittings as they take only one side of the face at a time or only one sitting can be preferred according to the pain tolerance. It is done under local anesthesia. On post-procedure, you will be asked to apply topical antibiotics or a short course of oral antibiotics can be taken. Laser therapy for DPN is comparable but there is a development of some side effects such as hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, rashes, burns and it requires more sessions.
