    abnormal keratin production causing skin, hair, and nail issues

    Keratinization disorders are conditions where the process of keratinization, the formation of the protein keratin in the skin, hair, and nails, is abnormal. This can lead to symptoms like thickened skin, scaling, and other skin abnormalities. Examples include psoriasis and ichthyosis, where the skin cells produce too much keratin or shed improperly, causing visible and sometimes uncomfortable skin changes.
