  • Title: Topical diphencyprone for alopecia areata: evaluation of 48 cases after 30 months' follow-up.
    Author: Gordon PM, Aldrige RD, McVittie E, Hunter JA.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1996 May; 134(5):869-71. PubMed ID: 8736327.
    Abstract:
    Forty-eight patients (23 male, 25 female) with severe alopecia areata were sensitized and treated with topical diphencyprone. Thirty-eight per cent of the subjects had good regrowth of hair at a mean follow-up period of 30.8 months. The presence of nail changes, a personal history of atopy and a long duration of alopecia had an adverse prognostic effect.
