CHEMICAL STRUCTURE
Urea has the following chemical structure:

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Topically applied urea dissolves the intercellular matrix of the skin which results in enhanced shedding of scaly, dry skin and thus a softening of the hyperkeratotic areas of the skin.
Urea topically applied to the nail plate has a similar effect on the intercellular matrix of the nail plate.

PHARMACOKINETICS
The mechanism of action of topically applied urea is not yet known.

Uses

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

or eschar. Topically applied urea is useful for the treatment of hyperkeratotic conditions such as dermatitis, psoriasis, xerosis, ichthyosis, eczema, keratosis, keratoderma, and dry,
rough skin, as well as corns and calluses and damaged, ingrown and devitalized nails.
