From what I have read, Sebohrric dermatitis is a secondary symptom of Parkinson's. This is probably what Diane is describing! The skin is oily and yet scaly and dry! I experienced this several years ago. I remedied it by using an exfoliating gloves (find in Walmart or any drug store). The gloves take off the dead skin and
I use a shower gel (highly moisturizing) to clean and moisturize! I hope this is a help to you!!!

Yes a doctor told me to use @Head & Shoulders as this was caused by Parkinson's, to pat your body dry not rub .Then use lotion as usual I have found @ Cure'l to be the best for me Hope this helps you , in our search to be comfortable in our skin

I have extremely dry and cracked skin on my elbows and down the underside of the arms! E45 didn't touch it so I have also found Aveeno better. My Practice Nurse prescribed it.
