In recent years, glycolic acid urea cream has emerged in the treatment of peri-hairy keratosis. Glycolic acid is an α-hydroxy acid, which can reduce the adhesion between keratinocytes, promote the normal shedding and renewal of stratum corneum cells, and stimulate collagen synthesis in the dermis to improve the texture and color of the skin. Urea has a moisturizing effect, which can increase the moisture content of the skin, soften the keratin, and make the skin soft and smooth. The two are synergistic and have a significant effect on pericarcinosis.

Clinical studies have shown that after using glycolic acid urea cream for a period of time, most patients have significantly flattened follicular papules, reduced skin roughness, and normal color. When using, first clean the skin, take an appropriate amount of cream and apply it evenly to the affected area, gently massage until fully absorbed, 1-2 times a day. Due to differences in individual skin types, some people may experience slight tingling, redness and other discomfort at the beginning of use. Most of them are temporary phenomena, which will gradually ease with the extension of use time. If the discomfort is serious, the use should be suspended and a doctor should be consulted.

Daily care is also crucial. Patients need to pay attention to skin moisturization, and apply mild moisturizing products in time after bathing. In the diet, you can consume more foods rich in vitamin A, such as animal liver, milk, carrots, etc. Moderate exercise can promote blood circulation and is conducive to skin metabolism. At the same time, avoid scratching the skin to prevent damage from causing infection.

To sum up, glycolic acid urea cream brings hope to patients with pericarp keratosis. With scientific care, it can effectively improve symptoms and improve quality of life.
