The harm of ichthyosis

What ichthyosis patients encounter is not just a problem of skin beautiful, but a comprehensive problem of overall health.

Long-term coverage of the skin surface by scales may cause capillary embolism and dry skin; hair follicle blockage forms keratosis pilaris or folliculitis; long-term dryness of the skin causes dry cracks, thus forming ichthyosis fish scale lines on the skin.

The vast majority of patients have difficulty sweating or sweating significantly less than normal people. This is very dangerous. The skin cannot metabolize normally through sweating, and the garbage and toxins in the body must be metabolized out of the body through urination, which will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, and even cause damage; inability to sweat in a high temperature environment will increase the probability of heat stroke, failure to cool down in time will be life-threatening; the skin is the largest organ in the body, due to the inability to breathe freely, more and more garbage accumulation will cause skin sensitivity, roughness, and pigmentation, even if there is no scales on face, the skin is still unhealthy and accompanied by signs of aging;

Finally, there are mental health issues, especially for women and children. Although ichthyosis is not contagious, it can easily cause discomfort to other people. Therefore, there are experiences of being ridiculed and alienated in life. As people grow older, love, marriage, work and even childbirth will all be affected.

Therefore, only the sooner ichthyosis is treated, the patient's physiology and psychology can recover sooner. Stay away from the troubles of ichthyosis, please treat according to the doctor's guidance.
