Welcome to XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
I am able to understand your physical disability and sufferings.
Ichthyosis is not any way associated with your tendon problem or Hereditary Spastic Para-paresis.
Ichthyosis may be an inherited or acquired. If you have Inherited Ichthyosis then it would be present since your childhood. If it is acquired recently it may be due to other causes like hypothyroidism, Avitaminosis and Hanson' disease etc.
You have to avoid frequent washing. There are different types of moisturizing soaps, and lotions and creams available. With the guidance of a dermatologist you can improve the appearance of the skin and reduce the disturbance by using such preparations and along with multivitamins and amino-acid preparations.
Get well soon.
