hi i have the same skin problem as the lady with ichthyosis and would like to find out the treatment cream name so i can mention it to my doctor many thanks

Please what is the cream

I hve suffered this condition all my life, with no solution. Please tell me the cream that she was using. thanks

How do I go about finding out what the names of the creams were so I can suggest it to my doctor, I have had the same condition as Dionne diagnosed but the emolients Ive been using for the last 15 years hardly work. Anyone help?

I have been suffering from icthyosis since birth and it affects the whole body. The condition gets much worse in a cold weather as body sweating is reduced. It really is a nasty condition to deal with for life.

I have the tedious job of applying lotion to my whole body at least 3 times a day to keep my skin moisturised. It is impossible for me to relax when the skin is dry, scaly and hard.

Please can I have the name of the cream? I would like to give it a try.

Please, Please, Please, Please can you tell me what cream was prescribed to Dionne?
I will be forever grateful.
Thank you

Dear Dr Harper,

I was amazed to see the great results of the treatment for what it is now clear is such a rare condition. I don't suffer from the condition myself but I think my sister has a mild form of it in the same way on her legs, and it has always upset her but in the same way as in the programme up to now no doctor has ever been able to diagnose it. Many thanks in advance.
