Curth Macklin Ichthyosis Hystrix

I haven't found any other families with ichthyosis hystrix. I have it. Five of my six children have it and one of my grandchildren have it. We control it by scrubbing it off and lotioning with aquaphor. The sun helps. In summer time, Am Lactin is enough to make our skin appear almost normal. Does anyone know of a good way to keep the crusting/hyperkeratinous skin thin other than soaking in the tub and mechanically scrubbing it away?
