Acquired ichthyosis (AI) is a nonhereditary skin condition causing dry, scaling skin. This review offers clinicians guidance on evaluating and treating patients with AI, addressing its complex associations.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Acquired ichthyosis (AI) is a nonhereditary skin disorder.
  • Characterized by dry, rough skin with prominent scaling.
  • Associated with malignancies, autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders, endocrine issues, infections, and medications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated overview of acquired ichthyosis.
  • To offer clinicians direction for assessing and treating AI.
  • To present an evaluation algorithm for AI patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on acquired ichthyosis.
  • Analysis of AI associations and histopathological findings.
  • Development of a clinical evaluation algorithm.

Main Results:

  • AI presents with hyperkeratosis and a reduced or absent granular layer microscopically.
  • The workup for AI can be complex due to its diverse associations.
  • An evaluation algorithm is proposed for streamlined patient assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Acquired ichthyosis requires a comprehensive workup due to its varied underlying causes.
  • Clinicians can utilize the provided algorithm for systematic patient evaluation.
  • Updated knowledge on AI aids in effective patient management.
