HI I am f27, diagnosed with ichthyosis vulgaris. I have this since childhood. Fish like patches are visibly present on lower leg. Skin is dry and flaky all over. No doubt m using moisturizer, after which the skin looks hydrated only for few hours. Also even after applying moisturiser, the fish skin like patches are still visible. I was told that there is no cure to it. Is It? M using moisturex. Kindly suggest do's and don'ts to keep my skin healthy and hydrated.
