Urea topical "I used this on the advice of a podiatrist for my cracked and calloused heels. I noticed an improvement in a week. I highly recommend this for your hard, rough, dry feet. After it has worked its magic, you should just follow up with regular moisturizer every day and use the Carmol 40% once a week thereafter."

"I have used many lotions, creams, etc. in the past to help with intense itching I get from dyshidrotic eczema ... for 10 years, and when I finally found this cream, I was in heaven. The moment I put this on my feet or hands, the itching goes away, and I no longer feel the need to itch! For anyone who has any kind of eczema, you know how hard it is to not scratch or itch, and this lotion takes away any itching feeling I might have."

Urea topical "I use this cream for my son who has a rare genetic skin disorder, a form of ichthyosis. He gets a severe hyperkeratosis buildup, particularly around his joint areas. I've found that it has been wonderfully effective at reducing this buildup. I'm very pleased with the product."

"Have been using this product since the beginning of 2016. I suffer from plaque psoriasis on the palms of my hands and bottoms of my feet, they were cracked, cut open, weeping, and bleeding. Every time I closed or tried to close my hands, they cracked and opened more. My feet were bad, I could barely stand shoes, and they itched. I went to Dr. and was given prednisone and cortisone cream. It helped, but after 2 weeks of using urea 40, things started clearing nicely. I use it twice daily along with Glysolid cream. These two products have been my saving grace. If I have a flare-up, these are my go-to guys."

Urea topical "I have raised areas of skin-colored keratosis on my ankles, legs, and top of my hands. My dermatologist prescribed me several creams with no really obvious results to speak of. I was just prescribed the cream, and overnight the areas already feel different. I am beyond excited that this seems to be working in such a very short amount of time..."

"My 9-year-old son has a condition shared by my mother where there are not enough pores in his feet, so when he sweats, his feet peel, similar to a sunburn. Over the summer, his feet had gotten so bad he could hardly walk, and he developed an infection in the skin and had dry peeling and deeply cracked feet. He has been on the prescription cream for one week and already had significant improvement. Almost all of the peeling skin is gone, and the new skin remains soft and playable. Waiting for follow-up after week 2 and interested to see how he responds if taken off the end. Since I apply the cream to his feet myself, I notice my palms are newer and improved skin even though I wash after each application."

"I make your own! I mix 20% of urea (by weight) into Sorbolene ($2.99 for 500 ml). The urea will dissolve in the Sorbolene cream overnight. I shake it up to make sure that the dissolved urea is mixed well. I then use it as a moisturizer. It works great for me. This information is from my experience only. I am not recommending that you make your own. If you happen to do so, I take no responsibility or liability for any negative effects this mixture may have on you."

Urea topical "One application on alternating days in conjunction with fluocinonide topical for two weeks. After bath and thorough foot scrub, apply Rea Lo or fluocinonide first, then regular lotion (I use Vanicream), then occlude with wet wrap therapy method (Saran wrap was suggested as an alternative, but I found wet wrap much more comfortable to sleep with: put damp socks on over treated feet, then dry socks over damp socks to keep). Great improvement early on, I expect improvement continued, but was less evident in the second week. Treatment completed until eczema flares up again. Also helped hands substantially, even though I used less intensive application."

Urea topical "Over 10 years dealing with freaking fungus and now I've seen light. Terbinafine pills, Nonyx, Fungi Cure, Better Nail, Kerasal Fungal Nail Renewal, Dr. Luke's, and Ciclopirox have all failed me. One last-ditch effort and my podiatrist gave me this $40 miracle in a bottle. Terbinafine cream on the bottom, then this on top. Terbinafine cream on the bottom, this next, and white monkey balm on top. This on the bottom and white monkey balm on top. These three ways of alternating have my toenails looking so much better after 5 months. I wanted my nice nails back, and it's been a battle. The urea in this helps the other ingredients penetrate to the nail bed. This is what worked for me. Mine is in a blue bottle, so I hope the formula didn't change for the clear one. No side effects for me, but fungus doesn't like it. I'm on my second bottle, so it does last a while."

"One-ounce plastic bottle for 1 ounce of cream. The problem is that the 'plastic bottle' is totally inflexible, so there's no way it can be dispensed through the spout on top, and certainly not to put down a 'bead' of it on paper beside a bead of Vaseline to make a 50/50 mix per doctor's orders. I complained to the pharmacy (Credena at Providence Hospital in Anchorage), only to be told by manager Keri McCutcheon to take my business elsewhere. Obviously, one of those businesses with too many customers! Refused to credit what I wasted on this for a larger bottle/tube/whatever!"

Urea topical "I too had a problem with itchy skin on my arms and was permanently scratching until I was referred to the dermatologist. After trying a few different topical applications, he prescribed this one, and it was like magic! That was 3 years ago. Now, because it was more than two years, the GP is not allowed to repeat the prescription - and I cannot buy it anywhere. I believe it might be available from France or New Zealand online - has anyone any knowledge of buying medications from abroad?"

Urea topical "This medicine was the only one that cured my dermatitis in just two weeks. It's sad that they stopped selling the Rea Lo 40%."
