Gormel is used to treat various dry skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and other conditions involving dry, scaly, or thickened skin. It is also used for general skin moisturization in cases of severe dryness.
The active ingredient urea is a natural moisturizing factor that helps hydrate the skin by attracting and retaining water. It also has keratolytic properties, meaning it helps break down and soften the protein keratin in thickened, scaly skin, making it easier to remove dead skin cells.
Gormel is for external use only and should be applied topically to affected areas as directed by a healthcare provider. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Some individuals may experience skin irritation or sensitivity reactions. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or applying to large areas of skin.
