Dry, rough skin is a common concern with Parkinson's, and it's completely understandable to want to get that softness back! While the search results don't specifically mention lotions, here are some general tips that are widely recommended for managing dry skin with Parkinson's.

Look for moisturizers that include these key ingredients:

- Urea or lactic acid – help break down rough, dry skin
- Ceramides – help restore the skin's natural barrier
- Hyaluronic acid – draws moisture into the skin
- Shea butter or glycerin – deeply hydrating and gentle

Some practical tips for application:

- Apply lotion right after a shower or bath while skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture
- Use fragrance-free products to avoid irritation
- Consider a thicker cream or ointment rather than a thin lotion for very dry areas

It's always a good idea to mention skin changes to your neurologist or GP, as they can sometimes be linked to Parkinson's-related changes in the body and may have specific product recommendations tailored to you.
