Avatar n tn I have patch tested coconut oil on my skin many times with no reaction. When i put it in my hair as a conditioner or near my face, my eyes get sticky, and i get post nasal drip and feel like i have a bad cold. Is this an allergic reaction to coconut oil even though it does not effect my skin?
Avatar m tn I agree coconut oil is great advice!
Avatar f tn Had an allergy to skin product once, but it disappeared after I started using it, hope it would be the same in your case.

1477071 tn?1288288585 I use some coconut oil daily for Alzheimer's prevention. My mother died of that illness. While it probably does have some antiviral and antimicrobial effects, I don't expect it will make much difference with Hepatitis. The lauric acid seems to be beneficial for lungs at it is in the coating. The medium chain triglycerides are a pretty safe form of fat and seem to reduce brain shrinkage from normal aging in healthy people.
Avatar f tn But keeping your skin moisturized will help to lighten them. I use coconut oil. Mine sometimes get red marks on them that are worse then the rest and I put antibiotic ointment on those spots at night and they clear up. After baby is born they will lighten up more as well.
4447476 tn?1399396565 ve heard that your supposed to use extra virgin coconut oil. . I have just normal coconut oil. . Does it work the same? I haven't used it yet Cuz I wasnt too sure if it would work the same as extra virgin Coconut oil.
Avatar m tn It is just the basic soap ingredients and nothing more. No natural essential oils, nothing. The oil used for this line of soap is coconut oil. Coconut oil is generally thought to be hypoallergenic, even for people who usually react to nuts. Unless they have a specific allergy to this pure form of coconut, that is.
Avatar n tn Any recommendations on creams to help her dry skin, any changes to diet to help her eczema? Flaxseed oil? Any other suggested treatments? Her skin is so very dry and itchy right now. I was told she will grow out of the eczema but it seems to be getting worse and now spreading to her face, legs and all of her back. I am taking her to her dermatologist but they usually say to continue with the fluocinolone and protopic and given the same creams -- vanicream. Please help. Thank you so much.
535822 tn?1443976780 At night you can try coconut oil or olive oil, but it's a bit heavy for day time use. These still allow your skin to breathe much better than the petroleum jelly will. If you're prone to acne, ditch the Vaseline for sure. If you only use the coconut oil for your skin at night and it doesn't bother your skin, still only apply lightly. The coconut oil at the discount supplement store that is used to cook with is the same one you would use for skin and hair applications.
Avatar m tn since the past month have small boils, that erupt all over the back, arms, and legs which turn into scabs and are itchy to discomfort. Apply coconut oil, and creames but no help except temperory relief. waiting for allergy blood reading, which they have taken 3 weeks ago!Live in Belgium.
Avatar n tn ve been using coconut oil on my skin for a month now. My face is clear, a few of the scars have faded, and my stretch marks from my first two kids are no longer angry red. It has s ton of other health benefits including hormone regulating and healthier pregnancy. If your desperate do some research and give it a shot!
11641934 tn?1421954110 ve been getting rashes on my belly and boobs so I made a mixture of pure coconut oil, raw shea butter, vitamin e oil and palmers solid cocoa butter. Can I say BEST THING EVER!!?? Yes, best thing EVER!! The rash on my stomach has already gone away.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your response. I have had patch testing but they don't have all the ingredients available to test me with. I am allergic to balsam of peru, fragrance mix, nickel, cobalt, dispurse blue, ethylenenurea/melamine formaldehyde resin, hydroquinone monobenzylether. But i know theres a lot more. I have tried everything fragrance free, I think it's also cetyl alcohol, coconut oil, olive oil, avacado oil, cocobetaine, sodium laurel sulfate. What is wrong with my immune system?
Avatar m tn Rather than olive oil, try and get some virgin coconut oil. This is antifungal and antibacterial as well as moisturising. It can be eaten straight off the spoon as well as used in cooking. From the pharmacy, you can purchase calomine lotion or calomine based cream to stop the itch. Applying natural set yogurt will also cool down the skin and help to ease off itching.
10943479 tn?1432725499 When I am itchy I put Vaseline on at the end of my shower while still in the shower. When you get out rub it in well and towel off.it really helps...
Avatar f tn Don't get coconut oil mixed with hemp. Buy pure fractionated coconut oil. Most health food stores have them.
Avatar f tn I bought some coconut oil yesterday after it being recommended for my cracking nipples. I bought a tub and it was liquid last night when I opened it and used it. I just went to use it tonight and it had turned to a gel! Is this normal?? Also, do I need to refrigerate it after opening it??
Avatar f tn So I put lotion on my belly every day and night and I rub coconut oil on it every now and then as well but I still keep getting dry patches mainly around my belly button that itch really bad. I'm 24 weeks 4 days and want to get it taken care of before I start getting bigger! Not sure what else I can try so I'd love some suggestions!
Avatar n tn Itchy skin is common in pregnancy...generally because the skin is stretching. I know it's hard but try not to scratch as it will only make things worse. Rub an oil or cream into them...something very gentle as they are so sensitive and raw already. An organic olive oil will work fine - gentle and a very cheap option compared to any cosmetic products. Once it's food grade it's definitely good enough for your skin.
20873371 tn?1556032506 I'd like to know if the derivatives of coconut oil are okay for acne prone skin, if coconut oil itself is highly comedogenic. I have really oily skin aside from the very edges of my jaw. Would anyone happen to know?
Avatar f tn As soon as i found out i was pregnant i made a mixture of coconut oil, shea butter, almond oil, and vitamin E and i massage it on my tummy and thighs everyday. I'm now almost 32 weeks and NO stretch in sight.
Avatar n tn Hi guys, I have developed, what seems to be, the same little white bumps/pimples described on here around my mouth and eyebrows. MY SOLUTION Not touching my face, keeping it clean of daily impurities, make-up, my regular creams, drinking lots of water and placing warm compresses as well as washing/gently wiping my face with camomile tea! I have only had it for two days and I see a change.
Avatar f tn You can also use coconut oil. The coconut oil might even cover up the smell that is concerning you that you say comes from your hair when you feel hot. You just use the same coconut oil you cook with and eat. You can get it at a health food store or a supplement store. Since your skin absorbs things directly, make sure it is extra virgin. Yep, just like with olive oil. You can use it in your hair instead of cooking with it if you're also trying to save money.
