Small DPN (under 1 mm diameter)

• Each spot is lightly touched with a fine electrical instrument (electrocautery)
• The treatments sting or feel hot to the touch, but this only lasts a few seconds
• There is no bleeding and no stitches required
• The DPN will turn grey-white in colour, and normally form small crusts for about one week
• The treated area may remain sore for 1 to 2 hours
• You should apply an antibiotic ointment nightly to the treated areas until they are healed
• A bandage is not necessary
• You may bathe normally
• The skin should be healed within 7 to 10 days
• You may notice residual pink marks, which will gradually fade
• After the removal, there may be a residual white mark
• There is a small chance that the DPN could grow back, although it is normal to develop new lesions over time

• The skin adjacent to the lesions is injected with a local anesthetic to numb the area
• The DPN is removed and the base treated with electrocautery

• The treated area may remain sore for 1 to 2 hours after the anesthetic wears off

• A bandage is not necessary
• You may bathe normally
• The skin should be healed within 7 to 10 days
