Don‘t just go for ANY TREATMENT... Go for the BEST TREATMENT
Ichthyosis is a chronic skin condition characterised by dry, thick, and scaly skin, often described as “fish scale-like.” It results from abnormal skin regeneration and excess keratin buildup, leading to loss of elasticity and persistent dryness. The condition can be hereditary (congenital) or acquired due to other diseases like hypothyroidism, chronic kidney disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. Homeopathy helps by restoring skin hydration from within, regulating keratin metabolism, and enhancing natural exfoliation and healing, providing both cosmetic and symptomatic relief.
Causes
- Genetic factors cause defective skin cell shedding.
- Dry or cold climate that worsens dehydration.
- Endocrine disorders like hypothyroidism.
- Vitamin A or E deficiency.
- Chronic systemic illnesses (renal or hepatic).
- Prolonged use of harsh chemical products.
