Coconut oil tips for psoriasis

[Kat]

I think it helps soothe as a solid or liquid, but for me the liquid really helped to get into my scalp.  In solid form it more wanted to sit on the hair and more difficult to get down to the skin area. 

If it's too warm you could let it reach room temperature before applying.  I'm not certain on if it would contribute to a burning feeling overnight    If that continued then I'd probably not apply right before bed and try some soothing gel or some such.

Wasn't sure on the wasps so tried looking it up.  Found this:
Coconut oil is widely used as a deodorant, anti-acne treatment, after-shave lotion and skin ointment, and a fantastic agent to improve skin and hair health. But recently, we found another good use of this oil, which is to repel bugs and insects. People in different parts of the world use coconut oil as a natural insect repellent too.

But.... I wouldn't want to test that on my skin!  Could be interesting to put some coconut oil in a problem area and see if it either attracts them or keeps them away. 

If you find the coconut oil is less effective, then you might swap it out with another moisturizer.  I don't know if it's mental or what but I've found that with moisturizers after I use them awhile they seem to not work as well but alternating them seems to help.
