Lamellar Ichthyosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Lamellar ichthyosis is a genetic skin disorder in which the skin sheds intensely and forms broad scales resembling plates, due to an alteration in its renewal process.
Common symptoms: It usually appears early in life with dry skin, marked scaling over large areas of the body and, at times, tightness or skin sensitivity.
Common causes: It is linked to genetic changes that affect the way the outermost layer of the skin forms and sheds.
Who treats it? The dermatologist is the specialist who evaluates this condition, and the general practitioner can guide the first visit. Because it is a chronic skin condition, professional follow-up helps care for hydration and skin well-being.
