AB Dermatosis  papulosa  nigra  (DPN)  is  a  benign  condition  first  described  by  Castellani  in  1925.  It  is  a  very  common  skin  dermatosis  that  consists  of  multiple  dark  brown  to  black,  smooth,  dome-shaped  papules  mostly  on  the  face,  upper  back,  chest  and  neck  of  darkly  pigmented  individuals  (Figure  16.1).  While  those  affected  are  most  commonly  African  American,  reports  of  DPN  have  been  described  in  Asians,  Europeans,  and  Hispanics.
