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. Our own experiences presented here are in accordance with these statements.

D009450	Neurodermatitis	An extremely variable eczematous skin disease that is presumed to be a response to prolonged vigorous scratching, rubbing, or pinching to relieve intense pruritus. It varies in intensity, severity, course, and morphologic expression in different individuals. Neurodermatitis is believed by some to be psychogenic. The circumscribed or localized form is often referred to as lichen simplex chronicus.
