As an African American female you certainly can get microdermabrasion but it will not remove your DPN. You need to see a dermatologist or a cosmetic doctor to have them removed.

Good morning and thank you for your question! You may get a microdermabrasion treatment, but it will not improve your DPN condition. It will likely make your skin irritated and red. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to get them removed. Best of luck! For more information, please feel free to visit our website!
