Hi.
As per your case history you dermatosis papulosa nigra.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a tretinoin 0.025 %cream once at night on lesions.
3. Other treatment options are cauterization and laser ablation done by dermatologist.
Thanks.
