    deliberately triggers skin immune response to promote hair regrowth

    Topical immunotherapy, also known as contact immunotherapy, is a treatment method used primarily for conditions like alopecia areata, where an immune response is deliberately triggered on the skin to promote hair regrowth. This is typically achieved by applying a chemical agent, such as diphencyprone (DPCP), to the affected area, causing a mild allergic reaction that can stimulate hair follicles and potentially lead to hair regrowth.
