Are you wondering about the side effects of using Lipikar 10% Urea for psoriasis, including whether it can cause allergic reactions like hives or itching?

Topical urea products are generally considered safe and well-tolerated for managing psoriasis. Reported side effects tend to be mild and may include:

- Occasional skin irritation
- Tingling in the affected area
- Burning sensation where applied

Importantly, no allergic reactions have been reported in studies on urea-based products. That said, it's always possible to have a reaction to any new skincare product. If you notice symptoms like hives, redness, swelling, or worsening itching after using Lipikar 10% Urea, stop using it right away and speak with your dermatologist.

It's worth noting that at 10% concentration, urea acts primarily as a moisturizer, helping to relieve skin dryness — which can be really helpful for psoriasis-prone skin.

If symptoms don't improve or get worse, your doctor can help figure out whether it's the urea itself or another ingredient in the product causing the reaction.
