does anyone know what ichthyosis is? and how to cure it?
371262
Ichthyosis (ick-thee-o-ses) is the name of a rare genetic skin disease (there are actually several different types of ichthyosis).  Since it's an inherited disease, it isn't contagious--you can't "catch" it. Ichthyosis causes the skin to build up and scale, causing it to be extremely dry, amongst other problems.\n\nMost types of ichthyosis are present at birth, and are life-long.  Currently, there is no cure, only treatments.\n\nPeople with ichthyosis and their families know that finding each other, and finding good information about ichthyosis, isn't easy.  This site strives to improve the ichthyosis community's resources, raise awareness and support, and provide an easy-access meeting place.

I'm so glad that it has cleared up for you. It seems the cause may be from bad sunburns, so you may want to be extra careful in the sun from now on.\n\nHere is some information for you about the disease.\n\nIt's described as a 'false skin cancer' that resembles a little volcano. Keratoacanthoma can also look like 'real skin' cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) so it is critical that it be evaluated.\n\nhttp://dermnetnz.org/lesions/keratoacanthoma.html\nhttp://www.umm.edu/imagepages/2308.htm\nhttp://dermnetnz.org/lesions/grzybowski.html

There is no cure but if you put tea tree oil (melaleuca alternafolia) on, it will stop growing and start healing right away. If you put it on when you first start feeling it it will never show its ugly head. Just make shure it is medical grade. I get mine from Melaleuca, they are a great catalogue company with over 300 great personal and home products.

Most times, this problem is hereditary. However, it is not considered a curable condition. There are many creams and the like out there on the market for it. Still, it is not resolved. No matter what, use warm water when washing yourself. When you are out in public, use the mildest baby wipes for your hands and face. What you are trying to avoid is unnecessary washing which causes undue irritation to the skin, this will help keep your hands from chafing. Use those white cosmetic gloves, try and buy about 6 pairs of them. Then you can keep them washed on a regular basis. I use Eucerin cream on my hands, but I must wet them slightly and then apply this cream. It takes a while but you will see results. The only reason that atopic dermatitis would lead to worst conditions is, that you have not followed the guidelines that I previously mentioned. In other words, you would leave your hands available to crack and bleed, then any type of disease that could enter a cracked skin would use this as an avenue to make you sick. Take my advice, but most of all, seek recommendations from people you trust, then get to a dermatologist that will take good care of you. Read Psalm 35 to (Plead My Cause) - It is long and it is especially worthwhile. Then read Psalm 4 for (Protection and Safety) against the unknowns in this world. God will hear and help you. Peace and God Bless.

Do not take hot baths or showers, they dry out the skin. Use warm to cool water. Soap should not be used on your skin because it irritates and dries the skin. You should use the soap substitute Cetaphil lotion which is available from the pharmacy without a prescription. \nDo not rub the skin dry after you bathe.  Blot your skin gently then apply an Alpha hydroxyacid lotions.  Neostrata 15 AHA Body/Face Lotion is a very effective treatment for ichthyosis when applied to moist skin after bathing. \nThe doctor can prescribe an Alpha hydroxyacid lotion for your skin which will dissolve the scales and will increase the moisture content of your skin. \nThere is no cure for ichthyosis. This is a life-long condition which can be managed or controlled. \nLiving in a warm climate often improves ichthyosis. \n\nI think that there are support groups too!!! hope that this helps!!!

Go to a dermatologist (or if the doc you mention is one, then go to a different one). I would really have to look at your skin to have enough information, but there is one possibility that occurs to me, and that is vitiligo. If that is the case, then the condition is really harmless, and all that you have to do is be careful of sun exposure. My mom has it, and she has never had any real problems except that she burns easily on those areas. See the link for more information.\n\nVitiligo would appear as patches of skin (the size of the patches varies) that have lost their pigment - like small areas of albino skin. However, you do need to have a diagnosis and make sure that there is nothing else that is going on. \n\nBest of luck.\n\nIf you would like to research the condition more, simply do a search for "vitiligo" in the Yahoo search engine. There are many sites, and there are also sites with pictures, FAQs, and treatment details.

Unfortunately there is NO psoriasis cure but there are psoriasis treatments. It is that simple. Anybody claiming to have a psoriasis cure is misleading you and most likely after your cash. Nothing you do causes psoriasis, it is also that simple. A psoriasis diet will not magically cure your psoriasis, neither will steroids or powerful vitamin derivative type drugs that alter your immune system. We have created this page explicitly to answer this single question as we receive many hundreds of emails each month asking us for a psoriasis cure.\n\nHere is a site you can get all your information from.. very informative!!!\nhttp://www.psoriasiscafe.org/psoriasis-drugs.htm\n\nAlso: Right from the can, Crisco is a big secret among Hospitals as a highly effective moisturizer. Hospitals even use it to treat psoriasis and eczema.\n\nGood luck

It doesn't work.\n\nAutism is something you treat, not cure.\n\nSorry, but bluntness is best.

i have eczema and we find there is no cure for it but i have steroid medication that i use (sometimes i have to take pills but other ointments)  go to your doctor and she can look into prescribing you triamcinolone which is an ointment that helps me a lot.  (try eucerine or aquaphore) also if possible use color and scent free detergent and try dove soap no dryer sheets avoid skin contact with lotions that have scents in them  (shae butter is good for your skin) and since i'm only 15 and i still amaze doctors with how bad my eczema came out  they put me on the wet pj treatment which you get your clothes wet like dunk them in water and ring them out.  then take a bath and soak with nothing don't wash your hair or body and just soak for 15 minutes when you're done put on non scented lotion or your prescribed treatment while you're doing that put your clothes in the dryer to warm them up and then put them on and go to sleep it works wonders because the moisture stays on your skin   \n\neczema is a non curable disease and it is caused by a build up of dead cells since the cells reproduce more rapidly than others peoples skin\n\nlike i said i'm 15 and mine is terrible but that does help your skin.

Its indeed a precancerosis, a lot of people have it, especially those who have been in the sun a lot in their lifes, its easily removed with a laser, so if you have some, you should best contact a dermatologist

Eczema is a general term for rashes on the skin that doctors can not explain.  One persons case can be completly different from the rest.  People try to treat it externally but its an internal problem caused by a chemical or hormonal imbalance in your body which is usually caused by what you are putting in your body.  Once again I will say figure out what foods he is intolerant too most people are intollerant to something and everyone is intollerant to fast food, artifical colors, flavors and preservitives.  They are chemicals dont eat them.  \n\nThe best otc treatment for the rash calendula oil, collodial oatmeal, zinc oxide.  Do not touch the affected area with anything! Harsh soaps, hard water, plants, dogs ect...  YOu can treat the out side and have it a little better or you can treat the inside and make it go away forever.  Acupuncture works great too.

Loss of pigmentation?  There is no home cure, you need to find out why (see a doctor) and them the only way to deal with it is to use medical cosmetics to cover it.

I'm sorry to say, no there is no cure for it.  There is a lot of research, but no cure yet.  They are coming out with medications that can help.
