I think of all the Ichthyosis skin conditions, I am afflicted with the mildest form, I consider myself still fortunate despite how aggravating the "mildest" form is. I cannot begin to fathom the severity and difficulty of living with Ichthyosis of the extreme or rare kind.
There seems to be an Ichthyosis family of genetic skin conditions as discussed in the video below. I'm glad I found this video which got me really aware about the other Ichthyosis types.
If you can't see the video, watch it here - Foundation for Ichthyosis
A video introduction to the Foundation for Ichthyosis and Related Skin Types, Inc. an organization dedicated to educate, inspire, and connect those touched by Ichthyosis and related disorders. Filmed at FIRSTs 2008 National Family Conference in Chicago, Illinois.
