urea has been researched along with Eczema in 32 studies

pseudourea: clinical use; structure

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In an open multicentre drug monitoring survey, 1611 patients with atopic dermatitis, contact eczema, dry eczema, psoriasis and pruritus were treated with a preparation containing 5% urea and 3% polidocanol (laurylmacrogol)."7.69Results of a postmarketing drug monitoring survey with a polidocanol-urea preparation for dry, itching skin. ( Freitag, G; Höppner, T, 1997)
"Topical vehicles containing urea are increasingly used in dermatology because of their favorable pharmacological properties, which are due to the following capacities of urea: (1) its beneficial influence on the structure and physiology of the skin, and (2) its therapeutic effect in combination with other topically active agents in various skin diseases, such as psoriasis, ichthyosis, and chronic eczema."4.78[Clinical experiences of interval treatment with dermatologic agents containing urea]. ( Antal, I; Füzesi, S; Petres, J, 1990)
"After 7 and 14 days of treatment, the tested urea-based cream resulted in a significant, progressive clinical improvement of xerosis and related pruritus in all patients."4.0210% urea cream in senile xerosis: Clinical and instrumental evaluation. ( Dinotta, F; Lacarrubba, F; Micali, G; Verzì, AE, 2021)
"In an open multicentre drug monitoring survey, 1611 patients with atopic dermatitis, contact eczema, dry eczema, psoriasis and pruritus were treated with a preparation containing 5% urea and 3% polidocanol (laurylmacrogol)."3.69Results of a postmarketing drug monitoring survey with a polidocanol-urea preparation for dry, itching skin. ( Freitag, G; Höppner, T, 1997)
"Diazolidinyl urea (DU; trade name Germall II), a new broad spectrum preservative, was tested from July 1984 to September 1988 in 2400 consecutive patients with eczemas possibly caused or complicated by a contact allergy."3.67Contact sensitivity to diazolidinyl urea (Germall II). ( Happle, R; Perret, CM, 1989)
"Preparations containing urea were found to be effective in the treatment of ichthyosis vulgaris and so we were encouraged to test their use in other dry skin conditions."3.67[Urea as a single drug in dry skin]. ( Swanbeck, G, 1989)
"Urea is a hygroscopic molecule that, because of its moisturising properties, is topically used for the treatment of skin dryness at concentrations ranging from 2% to 12% in different formulations."1.56Clinical evidences of urea at low concentration. ( Lacarrubba, F; Micali, G; Nasca, MR; Puglisi, DF, 2020)
