Judy has thee rashes pop up periodically on her back that make her back bright red and hot and itchy. They haven;t identified it as a symptom of Pd, but it showed up after we were diagnosed. Daily we put Bag Balm, a medicated balm on it to keep it moisturized. We do this daily now and it only pops up once a month right now. It used to never go away as we tried various lotions that were recommended. She has been to a dermatologist with this issue as well and nothing was given as a cause or a definition. So we use medicated bag balm which seems to keep it at bay and to keep it from spreading all over her back. When it does happen, it usually lasts less than a week. MAJOR source of itching and discomfort, no scaling or peeling or anything. Our best to you Paula04 as you walk your journey.

I have some scalp psoriasis; I'm told it's one of the PD symptoms. Luckily it's well hidden by my hair and bangs.

Yes my dry skin seemed to get much worse after diagnosis of Parkinson's & medications that were started/ had terrible itchy scalp / eczema / terrible skin issues with itching and break outs/ went to a dermatologist who suggested it was my anxiety & prescribed expensive ointments but didn't seem to help much . Started using a dandruff shampoo/even putting some of lather on skin Which helped some. I've tried every lotion .Terribly embarrassed with some scars and flaky skin when it flairs up & can't wear a swimsuit & have to cover up more in the summer . Afraid people think I'm contagious . I too find it odd that none of my doctors suggested it was related to my Parkinson's somehow .

besides my scalp I get it in my ears too. In the last two weeks one of my cheeks has blistered a bit. I don't know if it's related but regular Vaseline on my cheek has helped a lot.

We have tried moisturizer and several ointments and pills prescribed by the dermatologist. They have helped some, but not much. We recently started using toothpaste on the skin, not scalp, and it helps as much or more than the Rx.
