GlossaryDinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)

chemical used to provoke immune response, sometimes for hair regrowth

Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) is a chemical compound that has been used in medical research and treatment, particularly for its ability to provoke an immune response. In the context of alopecia, DNCB is sometimes applied topically to stimulate hair regrowth by inducing a mild allergic reaction, which can help to reset the immune system's attack on hair follicles.
