Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

I advice you to try the below medications for long term ichthyosis,
-Avoid using soaps especially strong chemical soaps.
-After a bath apply liquid paraffin or
vaseline will prevent scaling and dryness.
- Moisturex cream or Cotaryl ointment
- Neosporin skin ointment if secondary infection, Apply twice a day for 3 months.
- Keralin ointment for 2-3 months especially for soles.

If very keratotic:
- Cortilate (Halcinonide) 0.1% cream at night 15-20 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
