Ichthyosis

Ichthyosis is a family of genetic dermatological conditions seen in humans and domestic animals. The word comes from Greek ιχθύωσις lit. "forming fish", as people or animals with ichthyosis have scaly skin which can vaguely resemble the scales of a fish. The term ichthyosis is sometimes used to refer to the specific condition ichthyosis vulgaris. Ichthyosis was formerly referred to as "pseudo-leprosy," as it can produce an appearance superficially similar to that of leprosy. (From the Wikpedia article Ichthyosis.)
