Ichthyosis Vulgaris
Ichthyosis Vulgaris is a common genetic skin disorder characterized by dry, scaly skin. It occurs due to a mutation in the filaggrin gene, which plays a crucial role in skin barrier function. People with this condition often experience rough patches, particularly on the arms, legs, and torso, and may have a tendency to develop eczema.
The severity of Ichthyosis Vulgaris can vary among individuals, with some experiencing mild symptoms while others may have more pronounced scaling. Treatment typically involves regular moisturizing and the use of topical treatments to help manage the dryness and scaling associated with the condition.
