Ichthyosis - hereditary disease, manifested by a generalized violation of keratinization of the skin.

Congenital ichthyosis expressed already at the birth of a child, it is subdivided into ichthyosis of the fetus and ichthyosiform erythroderma. Fetal ichthyosis is rarely observed, is inherited in an autosomal recessive type, and develops in the III-V month of pregnancy. At birth, the baby's skin is covered with powerful horny layers, reminiscent of a tortoise shell or crocodile skin. The oral opening is stretched, inactive, or, conversely, sharply narrowed. Babies are often premature and not viable.

With ichthyosiform erythroderma, the skin at birth is covered with a thin dry yellowish film resembling collodion, after rejection of which persistent diffuse hyperemia of the entire skin (including skin folds) and lamellar peeling are found, the severity of which increases with age, and erythroderma weakens.

There is also a bullous type of congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma - epidermolytic ichthyosis, characterized by a more severe course with the formation of blisters. With congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, eye damage (ectropion, blepharitis), dystrophy of nails, hair, keratosis of the palms and soles, damage to the nervous and endocrine systems are possible. The disease lasts a lifetime.
