Is Permanent cure possible for Ichthyosis and dry skin? - #3872

Ashkar

I have extreme dry skin and fish scales on the back side of my legs and on the buttocks side. There is also a mild scales on the hands too. After thorough research about the condition through internet, I could learn that this is the condition named ichthyosis. Studies say that there is no medication available for its permanent cure. This condition made me anxious as well as depressed. I can't present me outside due to this condition, especially in winter season. Is there any medication/treatment available for it?

Dry, scaly skin indicates an imbalance in vata and kapha. External application of oils like sesame oil or Kumkumadi oil, combined with internal hydration through Ashwagandha and Ghee, can help nourish the skin. A calming routine with herbs like Turmeric and Guduchi can alleviate inflammation and dryness.
