Patient's question:
My skin is very dry, with some peeling, and it looks like scales. The color of my skin is also a bit bluish. My friend said this symptom is very similar to ichthyosis, but it's not confirmed yet. The symptoms look quite severe. What exactly is ichthyosis, and what are its symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Ichthyosis is mainly caused by the recurrence of keratinization in cells. It is recommended to apply vitamin A ointment and take oral isotretinoin capsules. The treatment usually requires about half a month. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene, eat more fruits and vegetables in your diet, and avoid greasy foods. Early detection and treatment are relatively better. If the condition is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination.
