R they nuts 😳
Dry skin, skin cancer to name a few, (sometimes I wonder who's writing this poop) There is a lot of skin cancer diagnosed with Parkinson's so don't let anything wait! If you use the phrase 'what is this ' or does this look weird to you ' GET CHECKED! !!!
I got my diagnosis in July of 23 and had two back to back Mohs procedures for my face and head by January. Not even talking about the 'let's just freeze that right now ' . Also itching is common around the face and head.
We really have to research on our own and share here...it's our best hope. 😊

Certain meds can cause skin discoloration. I had that with Amentadine. I had to quit taking it. But do talk to your do talk to your doctor.

I moved to Las Vegas and my skin is always dry so I use lotion with sunscreen in it especially on my arms and face and ears and throat. There is not enough lip balm in the world . My age of now 76 is showing with the lose creepy skin . I did see a dermatologist who removed three small patches on my nose and froze a spot on my stomach. I went because one sister has skin cancer on her scalp and another who has Lupus had skin cancer on her nose and arm. I think the Carbidopa/Levodopa does cause dryness but I take Eliquis daily that adds to bleeding and bruises of my skin. I have thinning layers of skin like my father had.
