Well, I'm terribly sorry to post (possibly) redundant information.

I was responding to two posts by people who think (as I do) that
Carmol is expensive.

FYI, I was prescribed Carmol 40 (40% urea cream) after a foor surgety
a couple of years ago. My local pharmacies wanted a prescription for
refills, for reasons known only to them, so I got a recommendation
from a physician about the Topix product.

The cream is used to soften callouses and other dry skin and it is
very kind to my skin. It works every bit as well as the cARMOL, BTW.

As for the "fresh stuff" you talk about, I can not imagine what you
mean, or how you would apply it. Certainly you can get simple urea,
but is is USP grade? And, how are you going to make it into a form
that you can use to apply to your skin?

I was trying to be helpful...So sorry my effort was found lacking.

I'll go back to lurking.

Frank was attempting a joke.

It seems that urea may be very helpful for skin problems.
You might like to try it for thin skin.

Are you qualified, drsmith? If so, in what field?
