I learned here to put the virgin coconut oil into a small glass and set that glass in a bowl of hot water to melt it. Not to use the microwave. But having the amount you need melt with your body heat on your skin is probably less messy than sloshing it on as a liquid.
I'm using over the counter, hydrocortisone 1% on genital psoriasis, even though my dermatologist recommended a stronger steroid. I don't use it daily because I'm worried about thinning skin there, too. There is a lot of info on overusing topical steriods here in the club.
Psoriasis seems to be worsened by sweat. Cleaning with a damp washcloth after exercising (when I can't get to a shower right after) seems to help me.
It's not fair to have hidradenitis and psoriasis. Glad you found the club. Welcome!
