Abstract
Topical nitrogen mustard is an alkylating agent. Its efficacy in treating alopecia areata was reported in an uncontrolled study. We present a preliminary, half-head, controlled 16-week study showing that topical nitrogen mustard was of benefit in 1 of 6 patients treated with 50% to 100% scalp involvement. Another 4 patients did not complete the trial.
