    GlossaryAcquired Ichthyosis

    skin condition causing dry, scaly patches, often linked to illness

    Acquired Ichthyosis is a skin condition characterized by dry, scaly skin that develops later in life, rather than being present from birth. It is often associated with underlying health issues such as cancer, thyroid disease, or HIV, and can be a sign of systemic illness. Unlike genetic forms of ichthyosis, acquired ichthyosis typically appears in adulthood and requires medical evaluation to identify and treat the underlying cause.

      Hair loss may be caused by calcification of capillaries in the scalp, restricting blood flow to hair follicles. A daily treatment regimen including high doses of Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, and Nattokinase could potentially decalcify these capillaries, improving blood flow and hair growth. However, some users warn against excessive Vitamin D intake and emphasize the need for medical consultation.
