Evaluate the Evolution of Body and Scalp Skin Discomfort in Patients With Hereditary Ichthyosis After Wraps (EnvelopIchtyose)
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Ichthyosis Inherited
In brief
Ichthyosis is a group of rare and chronic genetic diseases beginning at birth, in which the patient's skin is covered with scales of variable appearance and severity. This disease is disabling. The treatment is symptomatic and is based on the daily application of moisturizing creams with a high lipid content. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these treatments is limited and are considered very painful by the patients. Wraps are local treatments carried out by specialized nurses and which consist in, following a therapeutic bath, applying a large quantity of cream to the whole body, followed by an occlusion. This type of care is simple to perform, but requires nursing expertise, to date, it is not carried out in standard practice in France, which is why the investigateur wish to evaluate the effect of wraps on different parameters reflecting the skin condition in the short and medium term.
