Question 25

• Papillomatosis: Involves growths (papillomas), not dry fish - like skin.
• Cicatrix: A scar, not related to dry fish - like skin.
• Xeroderma: Dry skin, but not specifically fish - like.
• Ichthyosis: Derived from "ichthyo" (fish), refers to dry, fish - like skin.

• "Acne" comes from a Greek word meaning "pointed" and "Vulgaris" means "common".
• "Red and many" does not match the etymology.
• "Red and pus filled" is not the literal meaning.
• "White and painful" is incorrect.

D. Ichthyosis
