Ichthyosis Epidermolytic

Epidemiotropic ichthyosis

Also known as ichtheosis epidermotaxodermic, or also known as erythroderma, is a rare genetic skin disease that is characterized by a violation of its protective properties and the occurrence of hyperpigmentation, rash, peeling and erosion. Typically, most of the skin is affected and the person experiences severe discomfort due to the itching and pain caused by this disease. Epidemiotropic ichthyosis is hereditary and is inherited from parent to child. It occurs as a result of disturbances in the genome of skin cells and spreads throughout the body.

Diagnosis of epidemic ichthyosis

When making a diagnosis, your doctor may use imaging tests and ultrasound technology, such as a biopsy, to determine the presence of this disease. However, the most informative study is molecular genetic testing, which makes it possible to establish the exact code of the disease. Tests may also be ordered to look for infectious diseases and liver problems.

Treatment of epidemic ethiosis.

Although there are no known treatments for epidemic ichthyosis, there are treatments that can relieve symptoms and prevent complications from developing. These methods include the use of antihistamines, corticosteroids, and surgery to remove the resulting areas of skin. It is also important to follow your doctor's recommendations regarding diet, lifestyle, and skin care.

The prognosis of epidemic ichthyosis depends on the degree of skin damage, the severity of the disease and the body's response to treatment. If the disease is not advanced, most patients achieve long-term remission with slow disease progression.
