    TLDR Treatment with moisturizers improved the skin condition of a girl with a rare genetic skin disorder.
    This case report described a 10-year-old girl with lamellar ichthyosis, a rare genetic skin disorder due to a TGM 1 gene mutation. She had generalized scales, ectropion, and eclabium since birth. Treatment with emollients and supportive therapy significantly improved her skin condition in six weeks. The report noted that the disorder involved excessive water loss through the skin and risk of secondary infections, with treatment aimed at managing symptoms and enhancing the skin barrier.
