Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) is a common skin condition observed in black people and considered a benign epithelial tumor, and more specifically, a particular topographic form of seborrheic keratosis. We treated five female patients affected by DPN with 10, 600-nm CO₂ laser.</p> <p>We propose the 10, 600-nm CO₂ laser as a valid therapeutic option in patients affected by DPN, since the treatment is well tolerated, causes no major side effects, and is effective and long lasting.</p> </abstract>
