hi, i've lived with icthyosis since i was a young child.As for me I have found that at night using vaseline on the hands and feet works great for the skin wear gloves and socks it'll help soak into the skin.Its best to exfoilate a few times a week depending on how severe ur case it.i take care of myself well but tend to have the regular flare ups with it during summer and winter.myself personally,my body does not sweat so i overheat quickly.Spray urself whenever you feel hot.I carry a water bottle with a fan atttached and it helps me if im out.Hope it helps.
Hey,
my sister has Ichthyosis and she uses eucerin cream or creams with coal tar extract, if it gets really bad she uses steroid cream from the docs but shouldnt continue for long on your face with steroids.
