Suggest Treatment For Parkinsons Disease
My husband has Parkinsons Disease--is 86---he has red spots on his arms and face --more like red splotches--some darker in color than others. He now has some on his face. Syphilis has been ruled out. And the red spots are getting progressively worse. These splotches started slowly approximately 18 months ago and have not had any treatment or diagnosis.

As you mentioning, such red patches over skin/face are not a fature if Parkinsons disease. For that you need to consult a dermatologist. And for parkinsons disease, consult a neurologist. Medication of parkinsonism will be decided by taking full hisoty and examination. Though parkinsons dissease is a degenerative progressive disaese, but now medicine are available to keep patient day to day life kuch easier ad better and in some cases surgery is also required
