Acquired ichthyosis is similar to ichthyosis vulgaris clinically and histologically, but it may develop in patients with several systemic disease and secondary to multiple drugs.

Immunosuppression or abnormality of the immune system after bone marrow transplants may have a role in the pathogenesis of acquired ichthyosis.
