Acanthokeratolysis Congenital Universal

Acanthokeratolysis is a rare hereditary disease that is characterized by detachment and death of the stratum corneum of the skin. It manifests itself in the form of deep cracks, peeling and dry skin, and can also lead to the development of infections and other complications.

Acanthokeratolysis universalis congenita (AKC) is a form of acantholysis that occurs in newborns. This is a genetic disease that is caused by a mutation in the KRT14 gene, which encodes keratin 14, the main protein of the stratum corneum of the skin.

Symptoms of acanthocerotolysis universal congenita include:

– Dry and flaky skin
– Cracks in the skin
– Coarsening and thickening of the skin
– Formation of crusts on the skin

Treatment for acanthokeratosis universalis congenita involves the use of moisturizing creams and ointments, as well as special procedures such as laser therapy or cryotherapy.

However, despite best efforts, many patients with acanthokeratosis universalis congenita remain with severe symptoms for life. Therefore, if you suspect this disease, you should consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
