Which condition is also called flesh moles, brown or black hyperpigmentation resembling moles and is common on Black females?

• A. Pseudo Folliculitis
• B. Rosewater Toner
• C. Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
• D. Witch Hazel

Answer: (C)

Dermatosis papulosa nigra is a common, benign skin condition that presents as multiple small, dark brown to black papules on the face. It is especially prevalent in darker-skinned individuals, including Black females, and these papules resemble moles, which is why it’s sometimes described as flesh moles. The lesions are harmless and typically require no treatment unless for cosmetic reasons; when treated, options include laser or electrocautery, but the key point for this question is recognizing the specific condition that matches the description. The other options refer to a razor-bump condition or to cosmetic products and do not describe pigmented facial papules.
