“Dry Skin”
I am 19 years old. I was diagnosed with a disease when I was two years old. That is happening Ichthyosis vulgaris.As a child it was much more but still much less. The winter increases and the heat actually decreases a lot. It is seen in the upper part of the hand towards the back and in the lower part of the abdomen. As a result, those parts of my chest and other parts of my abdomen are much blacker and look worse. There are a lot of problems in the face. In particular, the forehead becomes completely black in winter and summer is gradually reduced and the face is not fresh.I will be forever grateful if you can tell me how to get rid of this disease and reduce the black spots.

Hello there! Unfortunately icthyosis vulgaris is a genetic condition that can’t be cured but can be managed with consistent use of emollients and ongoing management and care directly by a dermatologist.

I have seen this problem quite a few times. It is not any easy one to manage, depending on the severity. There is no known cure. In Europe they us Acitretin with some success, for severe disease. Also topical Tazarotene is beneficial.
Soaking in a tub to help reduce the thickness helps as well. Moisturizers that are called emollients help the most. Staying hydrated is also important. I would recommend seeing are dermatologist. Good luck my friend.
