✔️ Pharmacology

Topical Urea:

• Properties: Bacteriostatic, bactericidal, fungistatic, proteolytic, hygroscopic, and mild local anesthetic.
• Mechanism of Action:
  • Hygroscopic Property: Causes configurational changes in proteins in the stratum corneum.
  • Softening Effect: Dissolves the intracellular matrix, loosening the horny layer of skin, shedding scaly skin, and softening hyperkeratotic areas.
