@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, I haven't had that happen to me but have you tried putting Vaseline on the sides of your mouth and on your chin before going to bed at night to help prevent it from happening? Just a thought.

Hi Linda, I am glad I did find out as I have another patch that has developed elsewhere. I am starting to wonder if it is not a reaction to a new medication I recently started. Good luck finding your cause. I hope you have a lovely weekend.

It turns out I developed a fungal infection from drooling during the night. Dr. recommended an antifungal topical cream.

My husband had that problem. The Doctor told him to use polysporen on the sores.

I haven't had that problem but do have cracks.caused from dry mouth and lips. I use chapstick or something like it to moisturize
