6% salicylic acid in 10% urea for Keratosis Pilaris?!


Question: 6% salicylic acid in 10% urea for Keratosis Pilaris!?
I just went down to the pharmacy and ordered this mix!. I wasn't sure about the percentage of urea though, but I knew that 6% salicylic acid was basically optimal and as high as you'd want to go!. I'd thought that the urea would take up the other 94% and didn't know it was a sand-like compounds to be included in the mix of cream!. Anyway, I decided to go with 10% while I was down there along with the advice of the pharmacist, but she didn't really know what it was for!. So is 10% urea optimal!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
6% salicylic acid is a good treatment level for keratosis pilaris -- it is the percentage used in Keralyt gel!. 10% urea is also a good percentage for KP!. Carmol 10, a commonly-recommended cream for KP, contains this exact amount of urea (without the salicylic acid)!.

You will want to be careful using both of these together, as you experience significant redness, peeling, and sensitivity if you have not used this before!. Depending on how much you had to pay for this compounded medication, you may want to look into buying Keralyt or Carmol 10 online!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
