Is there a shot people can get if they have dry flaky skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It's topical treatments or learn to live with it. One person in 200 has mild ichthyosis without knowing it. Like most diseases other than infectious and surgical disease, it is manageable but not curable.
