Background:
Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) presents as benign skin growths, predominantly affecting women and often commencing during adolescence. Treatment is sought due to its cosmetic impact, with available modalities often posing risks of scarring and pigmentary changes.
Materials & Methods:
This study investigates the efficacy of ionized plasma jet therapy (IPJT) in ten DPN patients at a tertiary care hospital in central India. Patients underwent IPJT sessions, along with serial evaluations assessing pain, erythema, pigmentary changes, and lesion clearance.
Results:
Results showed 80% lesion clearance after the first session, with mild adverse effects such as erythema (40%), post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (20%), and hypopigmentation (10%) after 4 weeks.
Conclusion:
IPJT, utilizing ionized plasma, has shown success in various dermatological applications. The study underscores IPJT as a suitable treatment modality.
