Wraps for skin comfort in hereditary ichthyosis
Part of Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether special body wraps can reduce skin discomfort for people with hereditary ichthyosis, a condition that causes dry, scaly skin. If you have ichthyosis and are bothered by skin tightness or itching, this treatment might help you feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with hereditary ichthyosis (any type).

- You rate your skin discomfort as more than 3 out of 10 (like moderate to severe).

This study compares two creams—one with cholesterol and one with urea—to see which better improves skin barrier and quality of life in people with ichthyosis, a condition causing dry, scaly skin. Participants will use one of the creams for a period and be monitored.
This study looks at “skin and blood biomarkers,” meaning measurable signs in the body, in people with ichthyosis to better understand the condition. It may help researchers find ways to track disease activity and evaluate future treatments.
This study tests whether an antibiotic called gentamicin, given as an injection, can improve symptoms of hereditary ichthyosis, a genetic skin condition that causes severe dryness and scaling. If you have moderate to severe ichthyosis due to certain gene changes, this treatment might help your skin produce the missing proteins.
This trial tests a moisturizer called Doublebase Once in people with ichthyosis (a condition causing dry, scaly skin). For one month, you'd use this product once daily instead of your usual moisturizer to see if it works well and is safe.
This study tests a special bath system (Thera-Clean Microbubbles) to see if it helps people with certain skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, epidermolysis bullosa, or ichthyosis. It's designed for people whose skin is stable and who can follow a home bathing routine.
This trial tests whether a cosmetic cream can reduce eczema flare-ups and is comfortable/safe to use on very dry, irritated, eczema-prone skin. It’s mainly for children who have had recent flare-ups and moderate eczema severity.
