Ichthyosis is a common skin disease that can occur anywhere on the body. The main symptom of this disease is that the skin becomes scaly and feels very dry. In addition to taking special medications to treat this disease, you also need to pay attention to diet and care in your daily life.

Ichthyosis is a very common skin disease, which has a great impact on patients because their skin is like fish scales, dry and peeling. Unless a highly moisturizing lotion is used, the skin will easily peel off. What should these patients pay attention to in their daily lives?

Ichthyosis is very likely to cause itching or difficulty sweating. Usually, patients should apply some topical medications under the guidance of a doctor. They can control the time of use by themselves. Taking medication before summer can improve the degree of harm caused by ichthyosis, so as to eliminate the trouble of not daring to wear shorts or short skirts. More serious patients may need longer observation time and may also take some medications for treatment or try Western medicine.

For patients with calf skin that looks like fish scales, there is currently no cure. The purpose of treatment is only to relieve symptoms, increase the water content of the stratum corneum and promote normal keratinization.

1. Ichthyosis patients can increase the water content of the stratum corneum and remove excessive keratinized substances locally;
