Methods for preventing ichthyosis include:
1. Dietary regulation: Eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, cream, cod liver oil, green leafy vegetables, and animal livers. These foods help enhance immunity and prevent the occurrence of ichthyosis.
2. Skin care: Keep the skin clean and moisturized. Avoid excessive cleaning and dryness by using mild bathing products and moisturizing creams. During autumn and winter, pay particular attention to skin hydration, reduce the frequency of bathing, and avoid excessive skin dryness.
3. Environmental adjustment: Maintain appropriate indoor humidity and avoid staying in dry environments for prolonged periods. Additionally, dress warmly to protect against cold and wind irritation to the skin.
4. Lifestyle habits: Maintain a regular daily routine, avoid staying up late and overexertion. Engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance the body's resistance.
