Could Flaky Spots On Chest, Neck And Chest With Pain Be Itchthyosis Vulgaris?

Hi, My name is Nathan Carver, I am 21 years old, 6'4" 210lbs. I believe i suffer from Itchthyosis Vulgaris, My concerns are that, to my knowledge I did not have any symptoms of this until I was a Freshman in highschool. The condition has become gradually worse over the years, from when I was 15 and I simply had some "spots". To now that my chest, neck, and back literally have scales, which flake off, especially noticable on black fabrick, and also crack and cause extreme pain about once a month. I am worried that I suffer from Acquired Itchthyosis, and if that is the case, am not sure how to proceed beyond "self diagnosis". Any answers would help, thank you.
