Alitretinoin: A Potential New Treatment for Inherited Ichthyosis

The field of [dermatology] focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of [skin diseases], including [inherited ichthyosis], a group of genetic disorders characterized by dry, scaly skin. This research investigates the effectiveness and tolerability of [alitretinoin], a retinoid, in treating severe cases of inherited ichthyosis. The study employed a [retrospective multicentric] design to analyze data from patients who had been treated with alitretinoin.

The study found that alitretinoin was effective in reducing [erythema] and improving overall skin condition in patients with inherited ichthyosis. These findings suggest that alitretinoin could be a valuable alternative treatment option for patients who do not respond well to [acitretin], the current mainstay treatment for severe inherited ichthyosis.
