      The review highlighted the association between rickets and various skin diseases, emphasizing the role of the skin in vitamin D synthesis. It identified conditions such as ichthyosis, alopecia, and psoriasis as being linked to rickets, with ichthyosis being particularly notable due to its impact on vitamin D synthesis. The study categorized rickets into three types: vitamin D-dependent rickets, hypocalcemic vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2, and hypophosphatemic rickets, with a focus on the newly described cutaneous skeletal hypophosphatemia syndrome. The review stressed the importance of early diagnosis by dermatologists to prevent growth retardation and skeletal deformities in affected individuals.
