Alopecia Areata: An Overview

The review from 2013 concluded that Diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP), a topical sensitizer, showed the best results among various treatment options for alopecia areata. However, it highlighted that alopecia was not well understood, as evidenced by the unsatisfactory treatment options available at the time. The author emphasized the need for extensive research into the pathogenesis of alopecia areata to potentially develop better treatments for those affected by the condition.
