Contact sensitization has been an accepted topical immunotherapy in the treatment of alopecia areata (1, 2). Whether the age of patients is a significant factor in the treatment results is a matter of controversy. In our study, we investigated the correlation between age of the patients and diphenylcyclopropen‐one contact sensitization in vivo and in vitro (3, 4).
