Ichthyosis

Ichthyosis is not one disease but a group of disorders in which there is an excess amount of scales. Severity ranges from mild to life threatening. There are a large number of types of ichthyosis; most are extremely rare. This condition tends to be worse in the dry, cold winter months and generally improve in the warmer, more humid months of summer. The most common type of ichthyosis is ichthyosis vulgaris which accounts for almost 95% of cases.   Apart from ichthyosis vulgaris all other forms of ichthyosis are very rare.

Although the signs and symptoms may vary, they all show the characteristic dry, rough, scaly skin.  Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is a therapeutic skin conditioner that penetrates down through the layers of skin to promote a healthier skin overall.
