When i was little, i was diagnosed with icthyosis because i had constantly recurrent dry skin. I guess, from this description, that that was not true. (I do not have to waterproof-seal my skin, it is still pliable) Who can you trust? That is, unless it can eventually clear up by itself.

Reminds me of the blepharitis incident. Sometimes they just have to tote out the big words to get the bills paid.

Fishskin disease is really called icthyosis.
