Skin Concern

DPNs, Skin Tags & Benign Lesions

A skin tag is a soft, skin-coloured growth hanging from a thin stalk of tissue. DPN (dermatosis papulosa nigra) appears as small dark bumps on the face, neck and upper torso. Both are harmless and neither turns into skin cancer — but removal must be done with settings that respect pigmented skin.

What you may notice

  • Small dark raised bumps on cheeks and temples
  • Soft tags in folds and on the neck
  • White milia
  • Rough keratoses
  • Warts

Common causes

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Friction
  • Age
  • Skin piercing and irritation

Our approach

  1. 01Examine every lesion medically, with biopsy if anything looks atypical
  2. 02Remove with fine electrosurgery or laser
  3. 03Laser toning for any residual colour change
  4. 04Strict aftercare and SPF while healing

Typical timeline · One session for most; healing over 5–10 days.
