Question on skin conditions with MSA

[Guest guest]

Mike:

Fred has the oily nose and forehead. He also get's dry skin around the ear's and on the eyebrow's. His doctor gave him a RX of Hydrocortisone cream for this. He also has very dry feet and legs, and the nail's on his toes are cracking, but I understand that some of the meds that his on can cause this.

I think I have read before that patients with MSA tend to have some skin

conditions. I seem to recall that they(we) get oily around the nose and

also dry on the forehead. I have that but wasn't always sure if it was the

MSA or not. Lately I developed a reddening and thickening of the skin on

one of my eyelids. I suppose I should have it looked at but some how can't

bear the thought of another doctor. I also seem to be getting many little

white bumps on my arms. I'll call them bumpules for lack of a better name.

Okay to the point I am wondering if anybody else has had similar

developments with their skin. It could just be natural aging but I am trying

to figure out if it is something I can ignore. My bigger problem at the

moment is with OH and temperature regulation now that the weather has gotten

hot. I see the proamatine doctor in a week to discuss this part.
