In a mild form, it manifests itself in the form of dandruff, and in a severe form, the scalp becomes red and scaly, in rare cases, a weeping rash may occur.

“In more severe cases, people may have a red, scaly scalp, sometimes with a weeping rash,” say the experts.

The reason why seborrheic dermatitis affects patients with Parkinson’s disease is not yet known to scientists.

It was previously reported that malfunctioning Wnt proteins are the main cause of Parkinson’s disease.
