Diagnosed With Icthyosis Vulgaris. Black Patch Around The Wrist And Fingers. Prescribed With Sotret For Palmoplantar Keratoderma. Cure?
Hello Doctor. I have been diagnosed with Icthyosis Vulgaris. About a month back, a black patch appeared around my wrist and fingers and the skin has thickened. just met a Dermatologist and was told that this is due to palmoplantar keratoderma. I have been prescribed Sotret Gel 0.05% for application twice a day. I am 29 years old, Male. Is it possible for such symptoms to suddenly appear? Also, is there any cure for this in the long term?
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic!
It is so unfortunate that you have two uncommon diseases.
You are a known case of I.V. but anyone can have a keratoderma.
There are a host of types of these diseases, they can be hereditary or acquired and can start all of a sudden.
But more commonly the acquired lesions start in areas of frictions and sun/chemical exposure.
You should apply the medicine and have regular follow up to the Dermatologist.
Simultaneously avoid friction/trauma/sun exposure/chemical exposures if any so that it can be treated to the full extent.
I hope this advise would be helpful for you.
Still if you have any queries or doubts, please write me back,
I would be happy to solve them.
Wish you a great health!
