<\/span><\/h2>\nIchthyosis vulgaris affects 1 in 250 people. Filaggrin mutations have been reported more commonly in Europeans; predominance<\/span> in other breeds it is under investigation.<\/p>\nIchthyosis vulgaris is a autosomal<\/span> Semidominant condition. Semidominant means that a mutation<\/span> in one gene of the chromosome pair results in a mild version of the disease, while a mutation in both genes<\/span> in the chromosome pair results in a moderate to severe form.<\/p>\n<\/span>What are the clinical features of ichthyosis vulgaris?<\/span><\/h2>\nSymptoms vary in severity and tend to be less severe in a warm environment. damp<\/span> climate.<\/p>\n\n- Ichthyosis vulgaris is usually not present at birth. Most of the time it appears after about 2 months and in most cases before 5 years. Symptoms may worsen until puberty and sometimes improve with age.<\/li>\n
- Dry, scaly skin (xerosis) affects the extensor muscle<\/span> appearance of the extremities, scalp, central face and trunk. Skin folds are generally preserved (neck, armpits, elbow and knee folds). There may be cracks (painful fissure<\/span> ) of palms and soles.<\/li>\n
- Ichthyosis vulgaris is associated with keratosis<\/span> pilaris (follicular<\/span> hyperkeratosis) and hyperlinearity (pronounced skin lines) of palms and soles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Atopic<\/span> dermatitis<\/span> (eczema<\/span>) is present in 50% of people with ichthyosis vulgaris (and 8% of people with atopic eczema have features of ichthyosis vulgaris). When atopic dermatitis is associated with severe ichthyosis vulgaris, the dermatitis tends to be early-onset, severe, and more likely to persist into adult life. There is also an increased risk of asthma, rhinitis and food. allergy<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Ichthyosis vulgaris<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>How is ichthyosis vulgaris diagnosed?<\/span><\/h2>\nIchthyosis vulgaris is usually a clinical diagnosis. Mild ichthyosis is often simply called "dry skin."<\/p>\n
Research laboratories can detect filaggrin mutations from a buccal swab or saliva sample.<\/p>\n
On the skin biopsy<\/span>, histology<\/span> shows hyperkeratosis in the stratum corneum and reduced or absent granular layer<\/span>. Electron microscopy<\/span> also shows reduced or absent keratohyalin granules<\/span>, of which the main component is the protein pro-filaggrin, the precursor of filaggrin.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>What is the treatment for ichthyosis vulgaris?<\/span><\/h2>\nTreatment aims to reduce dryness, climbing<\/span>, division and thickening of the skin. This is accomplished with exfoliation<\/span> and moisturizing regularly and daily.<\/p>\n<\/span>Treatments to keep the skin hydrated.<\/span><\/h3>\nApply emollients<\/span> with height lipid<\/span> content, as lanolin cream<\/span> (a tallow<\/span>-as a substance derived from animals with wool).<\/p>\n<\/span>Treatments to reduce scale<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Bathing in salt water<\/li>\n
- Apply creams or lotions containing salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, or urea to exfoliate and hydrate the skin. These can irritate active eczema.<\/li>\n
- Oral retinoids<\/span> such as acitretin or isotretinoin may be prescribed in severe cases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>General advice<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Apply lotions and creams to damp skin to lock in moisture (within 3 minutes of showering\/bathing).<\/li>\n
- \nLotion<\/span> and creams can be stored under occlusion<\/span> for 1-2 hours with a cling film wrap to improve skin hydration.<\/li>\n
- Gently rub a pumice stone over damp skin to help remove thick, crusty skin.<\/li>\n
- washing brush hair<\/span> to remove scales from the scalp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
