Brief Summary:
A randomized double blinded clinical trial will be conducted comparing the effect of two simple basic moisturizers only different in the concentration of carbamide (urea). The concentrations of carbamide will be tested are 0 and 7.5, respectively. The study will be conducted as a split-body-study and will contain two arms randomized to comparing 0 and 7.5 % carbamide, respectively. Approximately 20 patients with at least clinically verified Ichthyosis Vulgaris will be enrolled to each study arm. The effect of the moisturizers will be assessed by clinical examination (score), patients assesment of effect and measurement of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and other skin parameters.

Arm Intervention/treatment
No Intervention: Only moisturizer, no carbamide
20 patients with Ichthyosis Vulgaris at age 0-80 years old. One body half
Active Comparator: Moisturizer + 7,5 % carbamide
20 patients with Ichthyosis Vulgaris at age 0-80 years old. Other body half
 Device: 7.5 %
Patient untreated with moisturizers for 1-2 weeks will start applying moisturizers containing urea at concentration 0 % on one half of the body twice a day while applying the same moisturizer with 7.5 % urea on the other half of the body in the same quantity at the same frequence
Other Name: Carbamide = Urea
