Ichthyosis Vulgaris is an inherited skin condition causing dry, scaly skin. In this video, we will understand about the genetic origins, symptoms, and treatment options for Ichthyosis Vulgaris.
Skin, our body's canvas, can hold secrets and challenges. Ichthyosis Vulgaris, known as the "fish scale disease," is an inherited condition that leads to dry, scaly skin. There are more than 20 forms of Ichthyosis, which can affect several areas of the human body, including arms, torso, face, legs, buttocks, ears, or the whole body. Ichthyosis commonly affects the skin, but other forms can also impact internal organs. General symptoms associated with almost all forms of Ichthyosis include dry, thick, and scaly skin. As Ichthyosis vulgaris is a genetic disorder, it can only be inherited from parents to offspring; however, numerous other factors may also be responsible for this condition to occur. Acquired Ichthyosis is a type of Ichthyosis that develops after taking certain medications or due to other medical conditions. Acquired Ichthyosis is a non-heritable form of Ichthyosis.
