Question on lamella Ichthyosis

Good Morning, I suffer from lamella Ichthyosis. What is the latest treatment for this condition. I use Dovonex or Daivonex , as it is called here in Portugal. Active ingredient Calcipotriol. This is normally for psoriasis. It works well but one cannot use it ad- lib over the body.
I would much appreciate your comments or info on any new product on the market. I have to say that here in Portugal any Doctor's prescription for psoriasis is virtually free.
Best regards, Tony

Re: Question on lamella Ichthyosis

Dear Tony,

I am sorry to hear about your skin condition. Ask you dermatologist if they prescribe you a retinoid e.g. acitretin or isotretinoin.

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
