thanksfor asking via HCM,
, dryness with black spot - ichthyosis
Ichthyosis vulgaris is a skin condition that causes dry, dead skin cells to accumulate in patches on the surface of your skin. It’s also known as “fish scale disease” because the dead skin accumulates in a similar pattern to a fish’s scales.
The first line of defense against scaly, dry skin is using thick moisturizers on the affected area on a regular basis. This may include applying thick creams and ointments several times a day.
moisturizer should contain lactic acid , urea & aloe vera.
