Ichthyosis Vulgaris Treatment
Intensive localized moisturizing may reduce symptoms. Creams and ointments are more effective than lotions. They are best applied to wet skin immediately after bathing. The use of mild, non-drying soaps is encouraged. Use of moisturizing creams that contain keratolytic agents (chemicals that help skin to shed normally), such as lactic acid, salicylic acid, and urea, are often very helpful in this condition.
