title: New treatments for ichthyosis.
abstract: A group of genodermatoses that differ in clinical appearance and cellular kinetics are included in the classification of ichthyosis. This condition is characterized by the formation of thick fish-like scales over the skin surface and may cause significant disability. New forms of treatment have recently been discovered that have greatly improved the prognosis for patients with all degrees of involvement.
