چکیده
Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) is a benign skin condition characterized by multiple, small, hyperpigmented macules and papules found on the malar areas of the face, neck, and trunk. It is almost always seen in the black population. Prevalence of DPN in the black population has been reported to be between 10% and 35%, with many patients noting a family history of the lesions and the number of lesions increasing with age. Histologically, DPN is the same as seborrheic keratosis (acanthotic type).
