Dermatology - Colloidon Baby 
The condition known as colloidon baby is a symptom of lamellar ichthyosis, which is an extremely uncommon autosomal recessive ichthyosis that starts at birth and has an incidence of approximately 130,000 cases. The disease known as colloidon baby can also be caused by other uncommon ichthyoses or it can be a condition that, once the colloidon membrane is shed and the erythema that results from it has cleaned up, the child's skin returns to its usual state for the rest of their life.

As a result of the baby being enclosed in a membrane that resembles parchment and is translucent, the baby is unable to breathe or suckle.

In the beginning, issues in thermoregulation and an increased risk of infection are caused by the breaking and shedding of the colloidon membrane. After the wound has healed, the skin appears normal for a period of time until the indications of ichthyosis arise. The skin is bright red and wet.

In clinical settings, a diagnosis is made.

It is recommended that newborns be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, where they should be placed in a high-humidity chamber, given emolliation, and monitored for symptoms of infection, as well as electrolytes and fluids. Emollients, such as hydrated petrolatum, are essential for maintaining the skin's moisture levels during growth and development. It is important to educate parents and persons who are impacted about the dangers of overheating and heat prostration, which can occur as a result of physical activity, high temperatures in the environment, and fever. The function of sweating, which is to cool the body, can be partially replaced by the application of water to the skin on a regular basis.
