Hello Sir, I am Senthil Nathan aged 23. I have dry skin and fish scales (brown colour) all over my body esp during winter season. I m having this problem from my childhood. I suspect whether it is due to ichthyosis vulgaris ? I m really worried about this disease. I have been applying Cotaryl cream as per doctor s medication but it is not giving permanent remedy. I am really frustrated. I m scared of getting married sir. I have some other problems like very lean, no growth of mustache and beard. Are these due to Ichthyosis vulagaris sir? I feel very low and cant go for public meetings. Dono wat to do. Pls give me some solution sir. I m dying everyday. Thank you sir. Expecting ur valuable reply
Hi Entail, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for writing in. Ichthyosis vulgarism being a genetic condition cannot be cured completely it can only be controlled. A specialized moisturizer like Medina cream will help a lot. Beard and mustache hair growth has nothing to do with ichthyosis. With regular miniaturization and electroporating technique ichthyosis is almost invisible. Consult a qualified dermatologist to help you with the procedure Hope this helps. Wishing you good health. Regards.  Chat Doctor.
