    GlossaryIchthyosis (Ichthyosis vulgaris)

    genetic skin disorder causing dry, scaly, fish-like skin

    Ichthyosis is a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by dry, scaly skin that resembles fish scales. This condition results from mutations affecting the skin's ability to shed dead cells, leading to a buildup of thick, flaky skin. While there are various types, ranging from mild to severe, treatment typically focuses on moisturizing and exfoliating the skin to manage symptoms.
