Ichthyosis

Ichthyosis (also known as diffuse keratoma and sauriasis) is a rare skin disease characterized by the formation of scales on the surface of the skin. It can manifest itself in various forms, including lamellar, nummular and dystrophic forms.

The lamellar form of ichthyosis appears as large, flat scales that may be yellow or brown in color. They are usually located on the face, neck, arms and legs. The nummular form is characterized by the formation of small, round scales on the skin. The dystrophic form appears as thin, dry skin with many small scales.

The causes of ichthyosis are still unknown, but it is believed that it may be related to genetic factors as well as metabolic disorders in the skin. Treatment for ichthyosis may include the use of creams and ointments containing corticosteroids, as well as the use of ultraviolet light to improve the condition of the skin.
