Epidermolytic Ichthyosis
Epidermolytic Ichthyosis is a rare genetic skin disorder characterized by severe dryness and scaling of the skin. It occurs due to mutations in the keratin genes, which are essential for maintaining skin structure and function. This condition often leads to blisters and peeling, particularly in areas where skin rubs against itself.
The severity of Epidermolytic Ichthyosis can vary, with some individuals experiencing mild symptoms while others face significant challenges. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms through moisturizers and topical therapies to improve skin hydration and reduce scaling. Regular dermatological care is important for affected individuals.
