Can a mother with ichthyosis pass it on to the next generation?

It is possible for a mother with ichthyosis to pass it on to the next generation. Most of the ichthyosis is related to heredity, and heredity is one of the important factors in the development of ichthyosis. Due to genetic changes, the relevant skin structure and metabolism are abnormal, which can lead to ichthyosis, and if the mother has ichthyosis, some of them may be inherited to the next generation. In addition, certain systemic diseases and special drug reactions may also lead to the occurrence of ichthyosis. Ichthyosis is an abnormal keratinization disease with dry and rough skin accompanied by ichthyoscale-like flaking. Symptoms include dry and flaky skin that looks like ichthyosis, which often worsens or becomes obvious in winter and improves in summer. The treatment of ichthyosis is based on topical medication, which can reduce the dryness of the skin and improve the appearance of the skin, and there is no complete cure for the disease, but ichthyosis generally does not affect the life expectancy. If you suffer from ichthyosis, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor for active treatment.
