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.
