Ichthyosis is a group of skin disorders characterized by dry, scaly, and thickened skin due to excessive accumulation of dead skin cells. It can be hereditary (congenital) or acquired due to environmental factors, underlying diseases, or medications.

Symptoms of Ichthyosis:

• Extremely dry, rough, and scaly skin

• Thickened skin patches, especially on arms, legs, and torso

• Itching and flaking

• Cracked skin, leading to pain and infections
