Ichthyosis
Hi Doctors,
I am having very dry and scally skins since my childhood. Mostly lower portion of my body ,scalp and back has very dry a scally skin. I'm using ray dew moisturising lotion from last 1.5years and no change.
Attached pic is of my skin after moisturising with a mix of glycerin with lotion. But there's no change at all. I'm quite confused what to use or what not.
Kindly suggest any good lotion or cram for my body to prevent Ichthyosis .
