Ichthyosis red skin

Autosomal dominant inheritance, a type of ichthyosis, is divided into blister type and non-blister type. The blister type manifests as flushing of the whole body, showing herpes and large exfoliation of the epidermis, newly formed cuticles on the exposed surface, covered with large gray-brown scales and wart-like. The non-blistering type shows keratinization and thickening of the skin, and the child's skin is red. The whole body is covered with a thick keratinous film, which looks like collodion. After the capsule is removed, red skin is left and thick scales appear.
