What is ICHTHYOSIS

Ichthyosis (plural ichthyoses) is a heterogeneous family of at least 28 generalized, mostly genetic skin disorders.

All types of ichthyosis have dry, thickened, scaly or flaky skin. In many types there is cracked skin, which is said to resemble the scales on a fish; the word ichthyosis comes from the Ancient Greek á¼°χθÏς (ichthys), meaning "fish."

The severity of symptoms can vary enormously, from the mildest, most common, type such as ichthyosis vulgaris which may be mistaken for normal dry skin up to life-threatening conditions such as harlequin type ichthyosis. Ichthyosis vulgaris accounts for more than 95% of cases.
