Lamellar Ichthyosis Images and Other Congenital Ichthyosis Pictures
Lamellar ichthyosis is an inherited skin disorder in which large, dark, plate-like scales cover most of the body. Affected babies are typically born covered by a clear, tight membrane called a collodion membrane. It peels away during the first few weeks, revealing scaly skin; the eyelids and lips may turn outward. The condition follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Changes in the TGM1 gene account for about 90% of cases. Lamellar ichthyosis affects about 1 in 100,000 people in the United States. Infants can develop infection, dehydration and breathing problems. Other features include hair loss, nail abnormalities, thickened palms and soles, and reduced sweating that increases sensitivity to heat.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Lamellar Ichthyosis Images and Other Congenital Ichthyosis Pictures
a kid in my highschool had this and i thought he was wearing a mask the first few times i saw him.. he had a girlfriend and they used to always make out and it was completely gross.. someone who knew the girlfriend told me that every time he came by they'd have to dust and vacuum to rid the house of all the skin he shed while being there he bled out his eyes all the time too  |
