Ichthyosis: Ichthyosis is the name of a rare genetic skin disease (there are actually several different types of ichthyosis) which causes the formation of dry, fish-like scales on the skin's surface. Since it's an inherited disease, it isn't contagious--you can't "catch" it. Ichthyosis causes the skin to build up and scale, causing it to be extremely dry, amongst other problems. The condition often begins in early childhood and is usually lifelong.
Impetigo: Impetigo is a skin infection that is generally caused by one of two bacteria: Group A streptococcus or Staphylococcus aureus. Impetigo usually affects preschool- and school-age children, especially in the summer months. A child may be more likely to develop impetigo if his skin has already been irritated or injured by other skin problems, such as eczema, poison ivy, insect bites, or skin allergy to soap or makeup.
Itching (Pruritus): A sensation that provokes the desire to scratch. Itching can be a significant source of frustration and discomfort for patients. When severe, it can lead to loss of sleep, anxiety, and depression.
