Default flaking skin and PD

I have dry flaking skin in my eyebrows. I know this is assoicated with PD. It is so bad that my eyebrows are starting to thin and fall out. Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone have any suggestion for me on how to treat this? It's very destressing.

Default eyebrows

Have you had your thyroid function checked? First thing I thought of when I read your post...I know scaly skin goes along with PD, but was unaware of loss of eyebrows. madleyn

Default I don't know about the eyebrows but...

...I had scaley patches behind my ears for several years. When I stated taking "red" Chinese ginseng it cleared up in about a month and has not returned.

Default

I think what I have is eczema..Somewhere I read that Canola Oil will moisten the skin, if applied after showering, and will get it under control..This maybe pre-mature, but Ive used it four days in a row, and Ive seen some results
