The milder ichthyoses can be well controlled using regular moisturisers, that is bath oils, soap substitutes and moisturising creams. They tend to improve in warm weather and on holiday and may gradually lessen in adult life.
The severe forms may make affected babies quite unwell and treatment in special care baby units will help them get over their problems. Moisturisers are again important as ongoing treatment and antibiotics may be needed from time to time. A group of drugs called retinoids may be tried as they lessen scaling in many forms of ichthyosis.
The complicated varieties of ichthyosis will need additional treatments according to their problems.
