Sumario:Gut inflammation and defect in the gut mucosal barrier appear to have a correlation with skin diseases and vice versa. The coexistence of hereditary ichthyosis with active colitis has never been reported. We present a 17-year-old female with ichthyosis since birth, abdomen pain for 3 months, with acute colitis. After the initial diagnosis, the patient was started on antituberculous therapy (ATT), steroids, and mesalamine. She followed up with us for 1 year where there was resolution of symptoms. Steroids were stopped after 16 weeks, mesalamine was stopped after 20 weeks in view of low absolute neutrophil counts and ATT was stopped after 1 year. She was asymptomatic post 18 months of stopping ATT.
