Skin Tags and DPNs Removal

A skin tag is a small piece of soft, hanging skin that may have a peduncle, or stalk. They can appear anywhere on the body, but especially where skin rubs against other skin or clothing. They usually form within the skin folds of the neck, armpits, breasts, groin area, and eyelids. DPN stands for Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra and is characterized by multiple small, black or brown skin tags on the face, cheeks, forehead and neck. The likelihood of developing DPNs tend to run in families and are more commonly found to affect African Americans - about 35% of this population has this condition.
