| The differential diagnosis includes venous stasis dermatitis, pretibial myxedema, filariasis, and ichthyosis. |
|
| Severe dry skin is a feature of certain genetic diseases such as atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis. |
|
| Severe cases of ichthyosis vulgaris, follicular keratinisation and excessive keratinisation of the feet and hands can be treated effectively. |
|
| A combination of vitamin A acid and urea is indicated in especially ichthyosis vulgaris. |
|
| These include ichthyosis-X, Refsum's syndrome and the congenital form of ichthyosis erythroderma. |
|
| It is a hereditary disease, and the defective genes of some forms of ichthyosis have now been identified. |
|
| Biopsy reveals epidermal changes consistent with ichthyosis vulgaris, as well as non-caseating epithelioid granulomas in the dermis. |
|
| There is no cure for ichthyosis, and the medical treatments available are only for the more severe cases of ichthyosis. |
|
| Specific manifestations include papules, plaques, lupus pernio, scar sarcoidosis, and rare morphologies such as alopecia, ulcers, hypopigmented patches, and ichthyosis. |
|
| Aldwin, from Reading, almost died from rare skin disorder ichthyosis and has campaigned tirelessly ever since to help others with the condition. |
|
| Based on the timing of the outbreak of the disease, a distinction is also made between ichthyosis vulgaris, which only appears after the first few months of life, and congenital ichthyosis, which is hereditary ichthyosis. |
|
| But unlike the overlapping scales of a fish, with ichthyosis the scales appear next to each other like paving stones, and the skin is thus more reptilian than fish-like in appearance. |
|
| However, it is not clear whether it is merely a coincidence of the two conditions, and whether follicular ichthyosis may represent more than one disorder. |
|
| He confirmed that Valerio suffered from a mild case of ichthyosis. |
|
| Atopic patients with ichthyosis vulgaris often have keratosis pilaris and hyperlinear, exaggerated palm creases. |
|
| My wife had an amniotic fluid test, and doctors asked us about genetic disease history in our families, but we never thought of mentioning ichthyosis! |
|
| I dated a girl with a mild form of ichthyosis once. Thankfully she was Filipino so her skin was naturally brown, otherwise she'd be as bright red as her. |
|
| It's extremely cheap, and certainly softens and comforts dry, rough skin, as well as soothing eczema, ichthyosis and psoriasis, but it can be more faff than one can necessarily face. |
|
| Because of that hateful thread, there are many more people aware of ichthyosis, and hopefully many more people with ichthyosis that feel less alone. |
|
| I explained what living with ichthyosis means for me. |
|
|
|
| Some told me they had ichthyosis but didn't know of anyone else with it. |
|
| In the strictest sense, ichthyosis refers to a group of rare, inherited skin diseases associated with severe, diffuse keratinisation of almost the entire skin. |
|
| Symptomatic ichthyosis, presumably caused by dehydration, may appear in the case of malignant tumours, such as malignant lymphomas, but also in liver and kidney ailments. |
|
| As long as it has been prescribed by a doctor, Carbamid Emulsion can also be used for long-term treatment and to prevent relapses of ichthyosis and skin disorders accompanied by itching. |
|
| They were lucky because a month after Valerio's birth, the ichthyosis support group had a meeting at a clinic dedicated to researching and curing dermatologic diseases in Rome. |
|
| Rhiannon was diagnosed with the genetic condition Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis, a type of ichthyosis, at just 12 hours old. |
|
| It seems that the mutated ABCA 12 gene in harlequin ichthyosis has something to do with the production of the lamellar granules in the upper layers of the skin. |
|
| Acquired ichthyosis resembling ichthyosis vulgaris or sometimes as a less specific ichthyosiform eruption is known to be a paraneoplastic sign of lymphoma. |
|
| A well-marked case of pseudo-leprosy or ichthyosis, a scale-like affection of the skin, unsightly, obstinate, but possibly curable, and certainly non-infective. |
|
| Ichthyosis is a malformation of the skin characterized by dryness, roughness, and thickening of the epidermis which is cast off in dandruffy to plate-like scales. |
