Ichthyosis Acquired

Acquired ichthyosis is a chronic generalized skin disease, the characteristic feature of which is hyperproliferation and heterotypic differentiation of cells in the basal layer of the epidermis. It is observed in patients of different ages, with men getting sick more often than women (the average ratio is approximately 6:1).
