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.
The minor scale [edit]. The minor scale, the Aeolian mode, is also a diatonic scale. The C minor scale is C D E F G A B; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. You can see that it consists of one whole tone, then a semitone (moving from D to E), then two more whole tones, then again a semitone (moving from G to A), and a final whole tone.
