About Urea [25%]
Indications of Urea [25%]
Urea [25%] is a high-strength topical keratolytic and emollient preparation used for skin conditions involving excessive dryness, thickening, or scaling.
Established/labeled uses
- Xerosis (severe dry skin) and ichthyosis
- Hyperkeratotic conditions such as calluses, corns, and thickened, rough or scaling skin patches
- Keratosis pilaris and dry, hyperkeratotic eczema/dermatitis
- Softening and debridement of hyperkeratotic tissue prior to other topical therapy (e.g., before topical corticosteroids in thickened plaques)
Adjunct/off-label use (commonly practiced)
- Adjunctive softening of thickened, scaly plaques in chronic plaque psoriasis (used together with, not instead of, disease-directed therapy)
- Diabetic dry-skin care as part of a foot-care regimen (used under medical supervision because of impaired healing risk)
Urea [25%] is for external use on intact, non-infected skin only; it is not a treatment for any underlying systemic disease.
Dosage & Administration of Urea [25%]
| Indication | Typical adult dosing/application |
|---|---|
| Dry, rough, scaling skin (xerosis, ichthyosis) | Apply a thin layer of Urea [25%] to the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician. |
| Calluses, corns, thickened plaques | Apply Urea [25%] to the affected area once or twice daily; a physician may advise short-term occlusion (covering) to enhance softening before gentle debridement. |
| Adjunct to other topical therapy (e.g., psoriasis plaques) | Apply Urea [25%] first to soften hyperkeratotic scale, then apply the prescribed medicated product as directed by the physician. |
Wash and dry the area before application unless otherwise directed. Do not apply Urea [25%] to open wounds, broken/fissured skin, or actively infected skin without medical guidance.
