Abstract
Ten patients enrolled in a single center, observational, prospective, open-label case study to assess the effectiveness and
safety of a 28 day regimen with Kerafoam® 30% urea emollient foam for treatment of hyperkeratosis. Clinician assessments
of skin condition were recorded at baseline, day 14, and day 28. In addition, patients’ ratings of the treatment impact on
quality of life and skin condition, as well as overall satisfaction with the product were obtained. Key results demonstrated
significant improvements in clinicians’ ratings of skin condition at the day 14 and day 28 visits compared to baseline and
significant improvements in patients’ ratings of quality of life. No adverse events were reported and all patients completed
the 28-day treatment regimen. Patient and clinician evaluations of the 30% urea emollient foam product were extremely
favorable.
