There is no permanent treatment but you can control it with application of lots of moisturiser and creams containing urea and lactic acid. For eg: moisturex cream

Ichthyosis Vulgaris --- eradicate no.. control yes.... the abdomen pigmentation needs to be assessed to comment further... Without examination of the skin condition and knowing the extent of involvement.. along with this more information on ongoing medication or history of previous/current skin/systemic illness it is not possible to comment on the treatment that would suit you best. You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
