Ichthyosis vulgaris (also known as "autosomal dominant ichthyosis" [1] and "Ichthyosis simplex" [1]) is a skin disorder causing dry, scaly skin. It is the most common form, and one of the mildest forms, of ichthyosis , [ 2 ] [ 3 ] : 486 affecting around 1 in 250 people. [ 4 ]
Ichthyosis (also named fish scale disease) [1] is a family of genetic skin disorders characterized by dry, thickened, scaly skin. [2] The more than 20 types of ichthyosis range in severity of symptoms, outward appearance, underlying genetic cause and mode of inheritance (e.g., dominant, recessive, autosomal or X-linked). [3]
Treatments may include moisturizing cream, antibiotics, etretinate or retinoids. [3] [5] Around half of those affected die within the first few months; [7] however, retinoid treatment can increase chances of survival. [9] [8] Children who survive the first year of life often have long-term problems such as red skin, joint contractures and ...

Sjögren–Larsson syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive form of ichthyosis with neurological symptoms. [ 1 ] : 485 [ 2 ] : 564 [ 3 ] It can be identified by a triad of medical disorders. The first is ichthyosis , which is a buildup of skin to form a scale-like covering that causes dry skin and other problems.
The symptoms would appear at birth or shortly after birth. The combination of physical symptoms on the child would suggest they have CHILD syndrome. A skin sample examined under a microscope would suggest the characteristics of the syndrome and an X-ray of the trunk, arms, and legs would help to detect underdeveloped bones. A CT scan would help ...
Eclabium can be a lifelong disorder, but drug treatment for the causing disease would heal the lips as well. For example for harlequin ichthyosis drugs such as Tazarotene [citation needed] and isotretinoin [citation needed] have been used to help the skin heal and loosen up which helps the eclabium heal. But sometimes surgery might become ...
