skin problem with Parkinson's
Does anyone else, besides me and my brother, have "dandruff on the skin"?
My skin has always been extremely dry.
Belle, thanks for your comment. My skin is also very dry too. I just put good body cream on. My skin feels much better and does not itch anymore. Go pamper yourself! 😀. All the best, Marc M., Moderator, ParkinsonsDisease.Net
Hi Belle, Ditto what Marc said, to add, I will put a plug in for Burt's Bee's Baby Ointment- I have eczema and this really helps to slather on at night time. All the best, Suzanne Troy, Parkinson's Disease.net member
murcadden If you are referring to scaly patches similar to those on the scalp that some experience on the scalp which is seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic eczema or seborrheic psoriasis may be the culprit. The Mayo Clinic has a lot of information. Iwould suggest that you see a dermatologist if the condition becomes too uncomfortable or persistent. I hope you can get relief from this annoying symptom.

yes. They told me I had eczema. I never had this before. I was told to use a certain cream but it just felt like I was covering my pores so they couldn’t breath. I couldn’t stand to touch my face especially. I would go wipe it all off before going to bed. Hi Donna,
I hope you are finding relief to your eczema. Hopefully, you also consulted with a dermatologist. I found help thru my dermatologist and finding different products that worked for me. Definitely finding ways to protect your skin against the elements was the key. Let me know how you are doing.
