This page is still being developed; we need your help to finish it! We’d like to include pictures of people with ichthyosis (you know, real-life pictures—not the kind you see in medical journals). Pictures would be useful to illustrate different levels of severity, what ichthyosis looks like at different ages, and maybe how similar in appearance different types may look (making accurate diagnosis difficult), and just to represent to people who are not familiar with ichthyosis what we might look like if you saw us on the street, and what we do in everyday life (everything everyone else does!). You don’t have to have pictures in electronic form—you can send us pictures through regular mail, we’ll scan them, and send them back to you. 

The University of Erlangen website has some fairly clear pictures of ichthyosis.

Do a search on www.emedicine.com.  They've got some good information pages on ichthyosis, and they include some good pictures.  For example, here's their page on lamellar ichthyosis.

The Disease Information Pages on www.scalyskin.org (FIRST's website) have some excellent background information and drawings that distinguish between many of the types of ichthyosis.
