Article Synopsis
- Acitretin, a common oral treatment for ichthyosis, requires extended contraceptive measures post-treatment, posing challenges for women of childbearing age; alitretinoin is suggested as a safer alternative that allows pregnancy one month after stopping the medication.
- A study involved nine women aged 19-31 with various ichthyosis types, treated with alitretinoin for 2-28 months, showing significant improvements in skin severity scores.
- Side effects were generally mild and reversible; literature search revealed that most previous studies on alitretinoin for ichthyosis also reported significant improvements, indicating its potential as a valuable treatment option.
