Comparative Efficacy of Topical Dncb and Puvasol Therapy in Alopecia Areata

A comparative evaluation of the relative efficacy of topical DNCB and tropical PUVASOL was carried out in 50 patients with Alopecia areata (AA). Aim was to establish the better and more suitable regime for treatment of AA. 16/25 (64%) and 19/25 patients (76%) responded to topical DNCB and topical PUVASOL, respectively. Long standing AA patients responded less favourably to treatment. The initial response rate and total efficacy rate of PUVASOL treated patients was better as compared to DNCB treated patients
