Treatment of disseminated facial warts through contact immunotherapy with diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP).

This paper highlights the effect of diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) sensitization on warts resistant to other treatments and is interesting in views of the fact that all the facial warts apparently responded.
