Keratolytics (topical, general) is a broad dermatologic drug classification encompassing agents applied directly to the skin to break down and shed excessive keratinized tissue.
While not a formal FDA-standardized therapeutic class phrase, it serves as a clinical and compendial category for agents such as urea, salicylic acid, and alpha-hydroxy acids that promote desquamation by disrupting corneocyte cohesion, softening keratin, and enhancing stratum corneum hydration.
These agents play a principal therapeutic role in reducing localized epidermal thickening and scaling, facilitating smoother skin texture and enhancing the penetration of co-administered topical therapies.
They are indicated across a spectrum of hyperkeratotic and scaling dermatoses, including psoriasis, ichthyosis, keratosis pilaris, seborrheic dermatitis, corns, calluses, and acne vulgaris.
