Skin Has Small Dry Patches, Scaling
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

My husband has these small white patches of dry skin on his body. They seem to have just appeared. Going to doctor in 2 days for checkup on dementia

Dry patches on the skin are usually nothing to worry about. Could be a deficiency of vitamin A or D but I would definitely have his doctor have a look at it.

My husband had this, too. He would pick it. It is gone now but now he is fixated on cutting his nails. He has alzheimers

I’m constantly telling my husband to stop touching his face and nose. Drives me nuts .

@A myALZteam Member Hope he sticks with the nail trimming. My husband is obsessed with picking his nose! 😵‍💫
