Keratolytics
- Keratolytics are agents that cause desquamation and debridement of epidermal surface cells.
- They foster cell turnover and loosen surface cells, which exposes the underlying tissue at low concentrations.
- Keratolytics reduce itching and inflammation when used in combination with other anorectal ingredients.
