Regrowth in group A (25 patients=59%) was better than group B (18 patients=40%),
but this was not statistically significant (P value=0.534). Eczematous reaction and
pruritus was lower in group A (2 patients=4%) than in group B (18 patients=36%)
which was statistically significant (P value=0.0001); the incidence of other
complications such as posterior auricular lymphadenopathy and vitiligo was not
statistically significant between two groups. Effective concentration of DPCP was
higher in group B (0.28% ± 0.26) than in group A (0.17% ± 0.25) but this difference
was not statistically significant (P value=0.1) |
