I think I have Ichthyosis Vulgaris
This condition has been with me from many years, I don't know exactly from which age. Recently I became aware of this as I had severe scales and bad and dry skin on my legs, back and hands. It's very odd looking and when I researched over the internet, I came to know this skin problem.
I have done a lot of research over this and found that it can not be cured and only managed and all.
I have never went to any clinic to diagnose this condition but I am pretty sure that it is ichthyosis vulgaris.
What creams or oral medications should I use for this that can manage it and make my body look more normal? I would really appreciate if respected doctors here help me with this.
I'll provide images to you.
