Am i able to use urea 10 cream while pregnant? i am 9 weeks currently and i have keratosis i havent used it since i found out im pregnant but my arms are having a flare up?

As a rule most creams/lotions applied to the skin surface do not penetrate the skin deep enough for their meds to enter the blood. This includes the cream you mentioned. To affect a fetus medications must enter the blood that would then enter the placenta.
