Has Anyone With Parkinson's Noticed A "musky" Smell Coming From Their Skin?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a caregiver friend who notices this with her mom who has Parkinson's. We are wondering if others have this issue. Thank you!

My husband has PD. He does have a musty smell coming from his pores. I am not sure if it is due to the meds or the disease. When he was first diagnosed, 6years ago, i noticed his face being on a white pillow case would stain the pillow case yellow. Could not bleach it out, so never use white pillow cases.

I can smell the meds in my poors, I shower them off every day.

No I have not. Maybe it’s the meds she is taking
