Ichthyosis or fish-skin disease is a roughness and thickening of the skin, portions of which become hard and scaly, and occasionally corneous, with a tendency to excrescences. This disease seldom yields permanently to any plan of treatment. Research Ichthyosis
Ichthyosis is a skin disease, in which the surface of the skin is dry, hard, rough, and greyish in colour, and the upper layers of the epidermis are shed in scaly fragments. The disease is sometimes congenital and hereditary, and its manifestation and extent are often determined by want of cleanliness and by poor diet. Research Ichthyosis
