Cautery is a dermatological procedure utilised for the removal of Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN), a benign skin condition characterised by small, dark papules that commonly appear on the face, neck, and upper trunk. This minimally invasive technique employs a high-frequency electrical current to generate heat, which is then applied to the targeted DPN lesions. The heat generated by the Cautery device effectively vaporises the tissue, causing the papules to be gently and precisely removed. This method is particularly advantageous for individuals seeking a quick and efficient solution to address the cosmetic concerns associated with Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra.

What is Cautery for Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra?
Understanding Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is a common skin condition that primarily affects individuals with darker skin tones. These small, benign papules often have a characteristic dark brown to black colour and a smooth surface. While DPN is harmless and non-cancerous, the papules can be a source of cosmetic distress for some individuals, prompting them to seek removal options. DPN typically emerges during adolescence and becomes more prevalent with age, with a higher occurrence in individuals with a family history of the condition. Understanding the nature of Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is crucial for those considering treatment options, and consulting with a dermatologist is essential to determine the most suitable approach for removal.
DPN can be usually removed in single sessions in most of the cases. It’s an easy and comfortable procedure, which has a minimal downtime of 3-4 days. Crusting happens after the treatment which usually falls off on its own in a couple of days time.
