What is ichthyosis

Many people do not understand what ichthyosis is. Ichthyosis is a genetic disease that can easily lead to symptoms such as skin cracks and bleeding, which affect the appearance, but also have an impact on physical health, so the most important thing is to pay attention to care in daily life.

If there is mild ichthyosis on the legs, there will generally be no problem if you take good care of it. The symptoms of ichthyosis will gradually worsen over time, so it is necessary to detect and care for it early, and do not delay until it becomes serious, which will then be difficult to deal with.
