Pan Xianhang, an eight-year-old boy, has been nicknamed ‘fish boy’ by neighbours because he’s covered from head to toe in thick, itchy scales.
He was born in Wenling, China with a rare genetic skin disease known asIchthyosis, after the ancient Greek word for fish.
Ichthyosis is a heterogeneous family of at least 28 generalized, mostly genetic skin disorders.
All types of ichthyosis have dry, thickened, scaly or flaky skin. In many types there is cracked skin, which is said to resemble the scales on a fish. SEE MORE PHOTOS HERE
