Picking

My husband with PD has been picking at his skin. Especially his hands. Dermatologist recommended lotions for dry skin. Neurologist says it’s not due to PD. He thinks he is peeling skin, but I don’t see anything. Seems to me to be more like a habit, like biting nails. Has anyone else had this feeling?
