📋Overview
Ichthyosis represents a collection of inherited disorders that affect the skin's natural shedding process. This group of conditions typically results in the accumulation of dead skin cells, which manifests as visible scaling and a compromised skin barrier. Management typically involves the regular application of emollients and keratolytics to hydrate the skin and facilitate the removal of excess scales.
