Ichthyosis vulgaris (also known as "autosomal dominant ichthyosis"[1] and "Ichthyosis simplex"[1]) is a skin disorder causing dry, scaly skin. It is the most common form, and one of the mildest forms, of ichthyosis,[2][3]: 486  affecting around 1 in 250 people.[4] For this reason it is known as common ichthyosis. It is usually an autosomal dominant inherited disease (often associated with filaggrin), although a rare non-heritable version called acquired ichthyosis exists.[5]
