AB AT-A-GLANCEThe  ichthyoses  are  a  heterogeneous  group  of  skin  diseases  characterized  by  generalized  scaling,  and  often  areas  of  thickened  skin.Most  types  are  inherited,  and  these  usually  present  at  birth  or  appear  in  childhood;  however,  some  forms  are  acquired.Scales  may  vary  in  size,  color,  and  body  site.The  may  be  accompanied  by  erythema,  abnormalities  in  adnexal  structures,  and  palmoplantar  keratoderma.The  may  be  associated  with  systemic  findings,  such  as  failure  to  thrive,  increased  susceptibility  to  infection,  atopic  dermatitis,  neurosensory  deafness,  and  neurologic  and  other  disease.Histopathology  is  usually  nonspecific  with  few  notable  exceptions.Early  genetic  testing  can  aid  in  the  diagnosis  and  anticipation  of  potential  systemic  abnormalities.
