It is also interesting that many, perhaps most, patients with this condition also have skin allergies, eczema and/or asthma. The patient with moderate to severe icthyosis often has problems sweating due to the buildup of scales on the skin. The scales essentially seal the sweat glands.
For now, it is good to know the names. These names apply to all major and minor scales. 1  1st-Tonic. 2  2nd-Supertonic. 3  3rd-Mediant. 4  4th-Subdominant. 5  5th-Dominant. 6  6th-Submediant. 7  7th-Leading Tone.
1 In this case, the note is called a subtonic. 2  Play the C Natural Minor scale, notice how the seventh tone lacks the desire to lead into the tonic. 3  A number with a caret may also be used to indicate a scale degree. 4  For example, the dominant of a scale (G in the above example), may be labelled as a 5 with a caret.
