Sumario:Congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma is a rare and severe form of ichthyosis manifesting in the neonatal age group.

With aseptic nursing care along with emollients and oral acitretin, the child's quality of life improved remarkably, hence highlighting the point of early and judicious use of acitretin in reducing disease morbidity.
