Conclusion Our patient presented with an extreme presentation of a common disease. Based upon the history, IV was considered. However, the severity of the clinical presentation of hyperkeratosis strongly suggested an alternative diagnosis. [dovepress.com]

- Disability
BACKGROUND: The concept of individual burden, associated with disease, has been introduced recently to determine the "disability" caused by the pathology in the broadest sense of the word (psychological, social, economic, physical). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Otherwise the individual burden takes care of the patient himself (or its family, its care giver) and describes the disability produced by the disease in the broadest sense of the word (psychological, social, economic, physical). [link.springer.com]

Treatment
Despite treatment, skin symptoms have a major impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). OBJECTIVES: To assess the short- and medium-term efficacy of hydrotherapy on QoL and clinical symptoms of patients with inherited ichthyosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment: Since there is no cure for ichthyosis, treatment consists of managing the symptoms. Most treatment is aimed at keeping the skin moist. In severe cases, medication may be prescribed. [knowyourdisease.com]

Background Inherited ichthyoses form part of a large, clinically and etiologically heterogeneous group of Mendelian Disorders of Cornification and typically involve all or most of the tegument [ 1 ]. [link.springer.com]

Prevention There is no way to prevent ichthyosis. As with other genetic diseases, there is a risk that children of an affected parent will inherit the gene. [drugs.com]
Early diagnosis is required for immediate management and prevention of fluid-electrolyte balance as well as prevention of secondary infections. [oatext.com]
