What are the treatment methods of ichthyosis vulgaris?

summary

It is no exaggeration to say that ichthyosis is an extremely serious skin disease. There are two main characteristics after ichthyosis. The first is the abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes, and the second is the abnormal epidermal barrier function. After the onset of ichthyosis, the main external manifestation is that the skin of the whole body will become like scales. Ichthyosis may be acquired or inherited. Clinically, hereditary ichthyosis is the most common. In fact, so far there is no cure for ichthyosis. Let's share my experience with you.

What are the treatment methods of ichthyosis vulgaris?

The main purpose of the treatment of ichthyosis is to relieve the symptoms of patients, gradually increase the water content of the stratum corneum of patients' skin through treatment, and gradually correct the normal keratosis function of patients' skin. Some systemic treatments can be used, such as vitamin A or 13 CIS retinoic acid.

There are some drugs that can be used locally to treat ichthyosis. This kind of drug can be Lingkang. Through the use of this drug, the moisture content of the cuticle of the patient's skin can be increased, and the substances left by excessive keratinization on the patient's skin can be removed. Some patients with ichthyosis may be accompanied by other skin infections, so we should actively use some antibiotics at this time.

One thing that patients with ichthyosis need to pay attention to is that in the use of vitamin a treatment, they usually need a large dose of oral administration, and the daily dose may even exceed 300000 u units. Long term use of this drug can cause some adverse side effects, such as bone decalcification in patients with history of osteoporosis, and may also lead to toxic symptoms.

matters needing attention

Ichthyosis is a very difficult disease to treat. The skin and hair of patients will become dry at the same time several months after the onset, and the sick skin will gradually spread to the whole body. Therefore, once ichthyosis is found, we should use drugs to control the disease as soon as possible.
