Ichthyosis: living with a congenital skin condition.

Ichthyosis. In the Pocket Dictionary of medicine it is described as: 'fish scales disease, persistent congenital skin condition by scale formation'.

In Ichthyosis is the balance between the production of new skin cells and the molting of the skin is disrupted. Ichthosis is hereditary or caused by a spontaneous genetic mutation. The skin can create too many new skin cells or cells cannot peel easily. That leads to a disruption in the normal skin process of creation and breakdown. This gives scales on the skin.

As you can read on this website, there are several conditions that fall under this umbrella term. This site is an information resource for anyone who want to be informed about this (yet) not to cure disease.
