DPC, or Diphencyprone, is a liquid chemical used to treat warts or verrucae. It's applied directly to the lesion and works as a contact allergen, triggering an allergic skin reaction (dermatitis) that helps eliminate the wart. Studies show it's a valuable, safe, and well-tolerated treatment for resistant viral warts, even potentially a first-line option. Success rates are estimated at 50-60%, with many patients seeing significant improvement even if not complete clearance.
However, the term "DPC" can also refer to Direct Primary Care. This is a healthcare model where patients pay a monthly membership fee for primary care services, directly to their physician or practice. This removes many of the administrative burdens and insurance company intermediaries associated with traditional healthcare. Benefits include increased access to physicians, personalized care, and reduced costs through the elimination of insurance billing and overhead. Patients in DPC models often have more time with their doctors and enjoy more proactive care. It's a straightforward model aimed at simplifying the healthcare experience.
