DNCP for kids? Ames scale

Hi There

I have a 12 year old who is really not responding to steroid shots.  He is about to try his fourth round. I am thinking about visiting Dr. Strict in here in LA for the DCNB shots, but I know it has not tested well on the Ames test. I certainly don't want to expose him to anything even remotely dangerous.  One dermatologist we go to said not to even try, another one said over the counter Acne medicine is just as cancer causing potentially.  I dont want to risk anything, however I know the DCNB has had some good success.  Anyone go through the same?

Thanks

Sorry - I mis-spoke.  Not DCNB shots... just the treatment.  Thanks!

DNCB is mutagenic which can lead to changes in your molecular structure.

I was on another contact sensitizer DCP . 

The 2% solution literally burned a hole in my skin which is still there to this day after 6 years. 

It is incredibly painful and blisters are common. It's track record for alopecia is quite good but going every week 

and having to live with it is awful.
