Overview

Comprehensive treatment of ichthyosis, a group of genetic and acquired disorders causing abnormal keratin accumulation resulting in scaling resembling fish scales. We manage various types including ichthyosis vulgaris, acquired ichthyosis, and ichthyosiform erythroderma. Treatment includes intensive moisturization with emollients, keratolytic agents (urea, lactic acid, salicylic acid), topical retinoids, and oral retinoids for severe cases. We address underlying causes including nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders. Patient education on environmental modifications, bathing practices, and consistent skincare is crucial. Genetic counseling is provided when hereditary ichthyosis is diagnosed. Our goal is maximum skin hydration and minimal scaling with improved comfort and appearance.
