What is Ichthyosis vulgaris?

Ichthyosis vulgaris is a common skin disorder passed down through families that leads to dry, scaly skin.

What are the symptoms of Ichthyosis vulgaris?

The dry, scaly skin is usually most severe over the legs but may also involve the arms, hands, and middle of the body. Persons with this condition may also have many fine lines over the palm of the hand.

What causes Ichthyosis vulgaris?

Ichthyosis vulgaris is one of the most common of the inherited skin disorders. It may begin in early childhood, before age 4. The condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. That means you only need to get the abnormal gene from one parent in order for you to inherit the disease.

The condition is often more noticeable in the winter. It may occur along with atopic dermatitis, keratosis pilaris (small bumps on the back of the arms), or other skin disorders.

Who is at risk for Ichthyosis vulgaris?

How do I know I have Ichthyosis vulgaris?

Your doctor can usually diagnose this condition by looking at your skin. Tests may be needed to rule out other possible causes of dry, scaly skin.

Your doctor will ask you if you have a family history of similar skin dryness.
