ResumoTopical immunotherapy involves the therapeutic use of contact sensitizers on the skin, and it has been tried in a wide variety of disorders in which alterations in cutaneous immunology are thought to be central to the pathogenesis, including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory dermatoses, infections, and cutaneous malignancy. Topical immunotherapy, however, has been most widely used in the treatment of alopecia areata (AA) and recalcitrant viral warts, and this review will focus on these two areas.
