Cream comparison for inherited dry, scaly skin
Part of Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
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.
