A balm that instantly hydrates dry skin.
Flexitol Heel Balm is a treatment for dry, cracked skin on your heels and feet. It works by preventing water loss and increasing moisture.
To order Flexitol online, simply answer a few questions about yourself. Our clinicians will recommend the best treatments for you.
Flexitol Heel Balm is an emollient containing 25% urea cream. It’s typically for dry and calloused feet, but it can also be used to treat dyshidrotic eczema, by preventing flare-ups and restoring moisture.
Dyshidrotic eczema is a condition that causes itchy blisters on your hands and feet. As it progresses, pus-filled blisters can accrue, causing inflammation and infections. It’s usually treated with steroids, but medicinal emollients can help it heal faster.
Urea (the active ingredient in Flexitol) has many properties that help it treat eczema and prevent flare-ups.
These different mechanisms of urea help restore and maintain your skin's barrier, making it an effective treatment for dyshidrotic eczema.
There are two different Flexitol products available: Flexitol 10% Urea Cream and Flexitol 25% Urea Heel Balm. Both contain the same ingredients. The main differences between the two are the concentrations of urea in each product and where they are applied.
Flexitol 10% can be applied anywhere on the body, whereas Flexitol 25% urea should only be applied on your foot or heel. This is because higher concentrations on thinner areas of skin can cause side effects like burning and itching.
