Indian court asks government to consider recognizing Ichthyosis as a disability to aid patients.

A petition seeks to establish a committee for patients' care and urges ministries to classify the skin condition as a disability. This classification is needed because Ichthyosis has no cure, and patients face discrimination and difficulties accessing identity documents and disability benefits.
