Many things can leave your skin dry
and flaky, from cold air to the chlorine in swimming pools. In a
small number of people, a group of diseases called ichthyosis causes skin
dryness and scaling.
It can't be cured, but treatments can
relieve the scaling and make you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
Ichthyosis is not one disease, but a family
of about 20 skin conditions that lead to dry skin. People with this
condition lose the protective barrier that keeps moisture in their skin. They
also make new skin cells too quickly or shed old cells too slowly. This leads
to a buildup of thick, scaly skin.
The condition gets its name from the Greek
word for fish, because the skin looks like fish scales.For treatments of all
