Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is most commonly seen in which group?

• A. Caucasian Men
• B. Black Females
• C. Asian Women
• D. Hispanic Men

Answer: (B)

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra shows a clear predilection for individuals with darker skin tones, especially those of African descent. It appears as multiple small, dark papules on the face and neck and is more noticeable in adults. Because its prevalence is highest among Black individuals, and among them more commonly in women, the group described as Black females is the best match. Lighter-skinned groups—such as Caucasian or Asian populations, or Hispanic men—have much lower occurrences of this condition, so they fit less well. The takeaway is the strong racial/ethnic tendency, with Black females being the most commonly affected group.
