Is ichthyosis related to heredity? What are the principles of treatment?

  Ichthyosis is indeed genetically related, but not everyone develops it, or there are differences in the degree of development. The goal of current treatment is only to alleviate the symptoms, and no complete solution has been found yet.  Treatment principles: minimize the number of baths, reduce soaking time and water temperature in winter, avoid using alkaline soap, and avoid wearing chemical fiber underwear. You can use boric acid bath soap, senior soap or or bath lotion containing emollient ingredients, and immediately after bathing, apply bath oil or emollient cosmetics. You can buy urea cream, silicone oil cream and compound glycerin lotion for topical use at the hospital.  Psychological problems mainly rely on your own correct understanding of the disease and your life goals, the disease does not affect health, but will only cause some discomfort or skin appearance is affected to some extent, it is simply not a difficulty for a person who is determined to do something in life.
