This case report details the management of a 10-year-old female pediatric patient with Harlequin ichthyosis (HI), a challenging skin disorder characterized by the production of 40 times the normal skin without trifats, leading to recurrent splits and fissures. Conventional treatments were ineffective until the introduction of nanobubbles. Encouraged by successful cases, the family engaged in a 100-hour medical trial conducted three days a week at the dermatologist's office, witnessing positive outcomes after the initial 20-minute session. The nanobubble's success inspired the creation of the White Water Company in 2016, developing the first portable nanobubbler. Nanobubble technology not only addressed excessive skin production but also played a crucial role in biofilm remediation, offering a solution to an additional challenge. The 100-hour medical trial demonstrated commitment to the patient's well-being. The nanobubble bath completed the scratch-itch cycle by shedding skin during the bath and moisturizing the skin from the inside out, providing a holistic solution to the challenges posed by HI.

Collodion baby is a rare congenital condition marked by a parchment-like membrane covering the body, often leading to complications such as bilateral ectropion. This condition poses risks of exposure keratopathy and other ocular issues. We present a case series of five infants with congenital bilateral ectropion associated with collodion babies, all born prematurely.

ABCA12 is crucial for skin barrier function and traditionally linked to severe congenital ichthyosis, such as harlequin ichthyosis. However, its genotype-phenotype relationship may be more nuanced. Using whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing, we identified four cases of mild ichthyosis with biallelic ABCA12 pathogenic variants.

Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is a chronic disease, mostly caused by mutations in the gene, marked by impaired skin barrier formation. No definitive therapies are available, and current treatments aim at symptomatic relief. LI mouse models often fail to faithfully replicate the clinical and histopathological features of human skin conditions.
