Does Anyone Here Have An Unusually Oily Face And Scalp?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My husband will get bad dermatitis if he doesn't keep all the oils washed away. I wonder how his sebum glands can produce so much oil?

i consider the ferocious dermatitis to be the worst I have had in my 70 yrs.....brutal...oily face
& hair to begin with ...............then down from the eyebrows and sides of the nose......
finally to my mustache & beard, ][ OILY Pillows & covers , oily sheets & furniture , oily
clothes.....Derma put me on ketaconazole shampoo .............it cleans it & removes it from the scalp with A FINE TOOTH COMB....THAT PICKS OUT THE FLAKES............ BIGGEST
flakes ever............as soon as you dry off it starts making more.There's no stopping it ...
I have switched over to a different shampoo called " CICLOPIROX " it seems to be a little
better for me ..............try to keep it & the oil out of your eyes.........dosage says wait
3 days between treatments on your head & scalp but by then ...it's all the way back !!
Wash your forehead , temples and behind your ears every day...............................
.....I hope that helps a little..............if you find something - anything that works better
please let me know..............

Oh he's been taking test on my back and neck. So he's at least checking things out, where the other Dr. didn't.

I have the same problem. Two years ago I was told that I have Parkinsons. I always thought that the shakiness was caused by my anxiety, and my walking problems was causes by my lower back and neck. Just about a month ago another nuerologist. from the same office says that he doesn't think I have Parkinson's, but that it's my anxiety, neck and back that's causing my problems. Exactly what I thought. He is now reducing my meds to see what will happen. So now I don't know if I have the disease or not. Sure hope not.

@ openstar Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your military service. My husband also served his time in the military (when his draft number came up).
I had no idea there were so many symptoms associated with pd until we were told my husband possibly has it.
Prayers for you and all those dealing with this disease. It's good to know you're not alone !!
