Kerasal therapy is a specifically designed ointment for treating dry, rough skin, cracked heels and calluses. The maker, Alterna, LLC, has recently released a professional grade version of the ointment, which can only be dispensed through a podiatrist’s office. The new ointment has increased amounts of Vitamin A & E and urea. Urea is a debriding agent and works by breaking down the top layer of dead skin, accelerating exfoliation and at the same time moisturizing the skin. The professional grade ointment is thicker and more occlusive, allowing for deeper penetration. Patients should notice improvements within one week. Kerasal is approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association.
