HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR ICHTHYOSIS
Ichthyosis is a disorder of cornification,
characterised by persistently dry, thickened, “fish scale” skin. There are at
least 20 varieties of ichthyosis, including inherited and acquired forms.
The inherited forms of ichthyosis occurs as a
result of genetic mutations that alter the appearance and behaviour of
keratinocytes (skin cells) in the stratum corneum (the outer skin barrier
layer).
The cause of acquired ichthyosis is unknown.
