Is ichthyosis contagious

summary

I have a problem for many years, that is, my skin will peel off in winter, and then it is very rough. But these days, I found that my limbs, chest and back seem to have some skin like snake skin. I went to the hospital and said that I was suffering from ichthyosis. After taking the medicine for two days, I obviously felt better. Let me share with you the experience of whether ichthyosis is contagious.

Is ichthyosis contagious

First: ichthyosis does not have the tendency of infection, so patients can be treated with ease. As long as they can actively cooperate with doctors to make diagnosis and treatment, the disease can be cured. Ichthyosis belongs to hereditary skin syndrome, which is caused by underdeveloped sweat glands in some parts of the body. It is generally not contagious.

Second, ichthyosis is not contagious. Ichthyosis is closely related to neuropsychiatric factors, endocrine disorders, immunology and digestive tract diseases. The causes of ichthyosis can be summarized as follows: genetic, chemical, endocrine disorders or external factors.

Third: ichthyosis is a hereditary disease, which is rooted in the gene abnormality in chromosome. So ichthyosis can be inherited, but not transmitted.

matters needing attention

I would also like to emphasize that fish, poultry, eggs, lean meat and other animal foods are rich in high-quality protein, fat soluble vitamins and minerals, which is conducive to supplement the deficiency of lysine in plant protein. Fish contains unsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce blood lipid and prevent thrombosis. Animal liver is rich in vitamin A, vitamin B12 and folic acid. It is worth noting that patients with ichthyosis try to avoid mutton, beef and deep-water seafood, which are easy to induce ichthyosis.
