Fish scale disease is a relatively common skin disease, and this disease is not limited by age or gender. Anyone can develop it, and many patients with fish scale disease are infants. When suffering from ichthyosis, it not only affects the appearance, but also brings great pain to the patient. So, what are the early signs of infantile ichthyosis?
The early signs of infantile ichthyosis are yellowish wax on the child's skin, with varying sizes of water scars appearing on the skin, and obvious edema throughout the body. The child's facial skin is very tight, accompanied by symptoms of eyelid eversion. At this point, the patient's entire body skin feels like it is wrapped in plastic film, and the skin is very dry and rough.
As the condition progresses, the symptoms of ichthyosis will become more pronounced, and the child's skin will be covered with grayish white diamond shaped and polygonal scales. And the scales curl up around the edges, with the center tightly attached to the skin, usually distributed in the limbs and back. Attention everyone, the skin lesions caused by ichthyosis may worsen in winter and decrease in warm and humid seasons.
Although ichthyosis is a skin disease, it is not contagious. When infants suffer from ichthyosis, it usually lasts for a lifetime, but as they age, the symptoms may improve. Fish scale disease is hereditary, and if parents suffer from fish scale disease, it is easy to pass it on to their children.
