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 .

Jim has dry scaly skin on his face and scalp. The dermatologist gave it a long name but said basically it is "facial dandruff."

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.
