Topically applied urea dissolves the intercellular matrix of the skin which results in softening of the hyperkeratotic tissue, and thus enhances shedding of scaly, dry 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 topical urea is not yet known.
