Symptom - Skin Changes

NOTE:  This piece has been reposted with correct text spacing.  The previous version has been deleted.
 
A common symptom for those diagnosed with PD is oily or flaking skin on the face and scalp. Dry skin or excessive sweating may also be an issue for some.

Recent studies have shown an increase of skin cancer in those diagnosed.  I can identify with the itching sensation. It normally surfaces at bed time, when I come in contact with bed sheets. The sensation is not as severe after a shower but I do notice my joints, forearms, calves and feet all saying...please scratch me.
