Abstract
Superior hair restoration requires the application of universal principles along with variations that apply to specific ethnic populations. This article serves as a primer on basic tenets of hair restoration, with additional attention given to the uniqueness and differences in technique and design that are warranted for a wide range of races and ethnicities. This article also gives prospective surgeons an insight on how to undertake further study and shore up their deficiencies so as to refine knowledge gaps and ensure patient safety and excellent surgical outcomes.

Abstract
The topical immunotherapy is used to treat alopecia areata and recalcitrant warts since the 1970s. Diphencyprone is a contact sensitizer used to treat dermatological conditions resulting from as altered immunological state, such as extensive alopecia areata, being partially effective and safe. Side effects include local eczema with blistering, regional lymphadenopathy and contact urticaria. Rare adverse effects include an erythema multiforme-like reaction, hyperpigmenttion, hypopigmentation, and vitiligo. We report a 30-year-old, Brazilian male who developed vitiligo lesions following DPCP therapy for hair loss in alopecia areata.
