Many kinds.: There are many varieties of ichthyosis, which is an inherited skin disease. It is not curable, but many kinds are controllable with creams and emollient oils, and in some cases drugs called retinoids. You should be followed by a dermatologist, not only to find out which type you have and receive the proper treatment, but because some types have underlying medical problems associated with them.
