Detailed Answer:
hello. thank you for writing to us.

i have gone through your query and i will try to help you regarding your concern.

Icthyosis literally means 'fish like' and it refers to the type of scaling seen in icthyosis.

icthyosis can be genetic or acquired.

Hypothyroidism, diabetes, Lipid lowering drugs e.g statins, malignancies e.g lymphomas are some of the causes of acquired icthyosis.

Genetic icthyosis is due to a gene mutation that impairs the normal function of epidermal barrier.
The inheritance of this defective gene mutation may be autosomal dominant or recessive.

Icthyosis vulgaris(IV) e.g is caused by filaggrin gene mutation and X- linked recessive icthyosis(XLRI) by steroid sulphatase mutation.
These are the two most common types of icthyosis.

Apart from these other types of icthyosis like Lamellar icthyosis(LI), Congenital kcthyosiform erythroderma(CIE), Non bullous icthyosiform erythroderma(NBIE) are rarer but more severe.

Goal of treatment is to keep the disease severity under control i.e it is palliative. There is no permanent cure.

Treatment includes topical urea, lactic acid, salicylic acid based moisturizers.
Oral treatment is with Oral retinoids e.g acitretin for thick keratotic involvement of skin.

i would like to know whether have you been given a diagnosis for your icthyotic skin involvement?if yes, which type of icthyosis?

can you upload a few images of your skin invilvement with icthyosis? what all sites are involved?

regards
