Hearing Loss
Skin inside the ears goes through the same self-renewal process as skin elsewhere on the body. Excessive skin cell shedding due to ichthyosis can result in significant amounts of flakes inside the ears.9‘Caring for Ears of Child with Ichthyosis.’ First Skin Foundation, www.firstskinfoundation.org/ear-care
These skin flakes can combine with ear wax and form a sticky, semisolid material that interferes with hearing. The material may have a foul odor, trigger itching and discomfort or lead to an infection. A person should consult a doctor about removing this material from the ear canal.9‘Caring for Ears of Child with Ichthyosis.’ First Skin Foundation, www.firstskinfoundation.org/ear-care
