Urea + Lactic Acid: Brands, Price & Uses in Bangladesh

Urea + Lactic Acid is a topical keratolytic and moisturizing combination used for the management of dry, rough, and scaling skin conditions. Its use can be classified as follows:

Established/Common Uses

• Xerosis (severe dry skin)
• Ichthyosis vulgaris and other hereditary hyperkeratotic skin disorders
• Keratosis pilaris
• Calluses, corns, and thickened/hyperkeratotic skin (e.g., on heels, elbows, knees)
• Dry, cracked heels (heel fissures)

Adjunct/Supportive Use

• Adjunctive moisturizing care for dry skin associated with diabetes mellitus (as part of routine skin care, not a substitute for medical management)
• Adjunct to other prescribed therapy in chronic eczema or psoriasis where scaling and dryness are prominent, under medical guidance

Urea + Lactic Acid is intended for topical use only and does not treat the underlying cause of these skin conditions; it provides symptomatic hydration and gentle exfoliation.

Apply Urea + Lactic Acid topically to the affected area(s) of skin, typically once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician.

Wash and dry the affected area before application. Avoid application to broken, infected, or inflamed skin unless specifically directed by a physician. Wash hands after use unless the hands are the treated area.

Local skin reactions are the most commonly reported effects with Urea + Lactic Acid, particularly during the initial period of use:

• Mild stinging, burning, or tingling sensation on application
• Redness, dryness, or peeling of the skin
• Itching
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity) with regular use, particularly related to the lactic acid component
• Rare: allergic contact dermatitis

These effects are usually mild and tend to subside with continued use. Discontinue use and consult a physician if severe irritation, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction occur.
