    topical immunotherapy agent used to treat alopecia areata

    Diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) is a topical immunotherapy agent used primarily to treat alopecia areata, a condition that causes hair loss. It works by inducing a mild allergic reaction on the scalp, which is thought to distract the immune system from attacking hair follicles, thereby promoting hair regrowth.
