Abstract:
Though many therapies exist for alopecia areata, one of the most unique is topical sensitization. By altering the pathogenic inflammatory response with few side effects, sensitizers offer an attractive treatment option for many patients with alopecia areata, including those who have previously failed more traditional treatments and those who have extensive disease.
