What Are These Small Dark Bumps on My Face?
Small dark bumps on the face may be Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN), a common and harmless skin condition that often affects people with medium to darker skin tones. DPN typically appears as multiple small, dark brown to black raised spots on the cheeks, temples, forehead and around the eyes.
Although DPN is benign and does not become skin cancer, many people choose to have the lesions removed for cosmetic reasons. Because DPN can sometimes resemble moles, warts or other skin growths, a professional assessment is important to confirm the diagnosis before considering treatment.
Several treatment options may be suitable depending on the size, number and location of the lesions. Your practitioner can discuss the most appropriate approach based on your individual skin type and goals.
At Shape & Glow, we take a structured and personalised approach to pigmentation management through professional assessment, clinical skincare, daily protection strategies and targeted treatment protocols.
Whether youโre experiencing melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation, uneven skin tone or recurring pigmentation concerns, understanding the underlying cause is often the first step.
Every skin journey is different. Consistency, protection and professional guidance remain important components of long-term skin maintenance.
