Lamellar Ichthyosis - Treatments

Treatments

As with all types of ichthyosis, there is no cure but the symptoms can be relieved.

• Moisturizers
• Prevention of overheating
• Eye drops (to prevent the eyes from becoming dried out)
• Systemic Retinoids (Isotretinoin and acitretin are very effective, but careful monitoring for toxicity is required. Only severe cases may require intermittent therapy.)

Psychological therapy or support may be required as well.
