Suggest Treatment For Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra

default
Posted on Mon, 19 Dec 2016
Question: Hi,
I have papulose nigra in my face but seems to increase in number independently of what cream I use. Initially they all were flat but now some of them have developed into a skin tag. I am not very happy with the way the skin in my face is starting to look.

Please, I need help is there any medication I can use to stop it, or cure?

No oral and topical medicines to stop it

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I can understand your concern but unfortunately there are no oral and topical medicines that can stop it or cure it.
The best treatment for papulosa nigricans is to get them removed by either laser treatment or radiofrequency ablation.
