AB Dermatosis  papulosa  nigra  (DPNs)  are  very  common  benign  brown  warty  papules  that  appear  in  African  Americans  and  other  patients  with  dark  skin  phototypes,  DPNs  usually  affect  the  cheeks,  neck,  and  upper  chest  (Fig.  49.1).  DPNs  are  a  type  of  seborrheic  keratosis.  Many  patients  request  removal  of  DPNs,  particularly  when  multiple  or  large,  due  to  their  unsightly  appearance.
