AB Two  brothers  are  seen  during  a  medical  mission  in  Africa  for  their  dry  skin.  The  clinician  recognizes  the  pattern  of  X-linked  ichthyosis  sparing  the  antecubital  fossae  of  the  arms  amidst  the  heavy  scales  (Figure  171-1).  With  the  help  of  a  translator,  the  condition  is  explained  to  the  mother  and  her  boys.  It  turns  out  the  mother’s  father  also  had  the  same  condition  but  never  received  a  diagnosis  or  had  any  medical  care.  The  suggested  treatment  is  daily  emollients  and  keratolytics.
