Question
How to Treat Ichthyosis in Infants?
Answer
Ichthyosis currently has no definitive cure. However, if patients enhance their skin care and combine it with medication, some improvement in symptoms can be achieved. First, it is important to strengthen skin care. During the dry winter months, skin moisture loss increases, leading to more severe skin damage. This condition does not affect health; mild cases may not require treatment; severe cases can take vitamin A supplements and apply 10% cod liver oil ointment or 10% salt ointment topically to the affected area.
