Hello! This is not really heart related but as my late mother had Parkinson's I will give you an answer. Parkinson's and some of the medication can occasionally cause skin problems. Your wife needs to see her GP. It may be as simple as using a moisturiser or using additive free soap. Good luck!

Sorry Michael I didn't realize this was only for heart problems

Absolutely no worries. The disease is quite destressing to watch as it progresses over the years. If you search for "Healthunlocked Parkinson's" you will find a number of forums. The Parkinson's Society are also a good source of information.
