I use Coconut Oil on my exima and it works, but will this affect me? Is this bad?

Question

It's not an official medicine or anything.

I put it on my eye lid and on the inside of my ear lobe, but not in an area where it seeps into my ear valve or anything.

But it's right on my eye. What if it gets in my eye or ear and later solidates. That'd be bad.

Answer 1

Registered Nurse here; Dear Andrew, this is great news for Modern Medicine, for the present there is no cure for eczema. I cannot think of any damage coconut oil would do, providing one isn't allergic to it. Thanks for the information, my husband has outbreaks of eczema frequently. Guess what I will be purchasing come morning, that's right COCONUT OIL, sure hope it does Tom as much good as it has you.
Thanks for the information and thanks for the opportunity to address your question.

Answer 2

It's a great remedy and it has no side effects . Do you know how many people ask about eczema and get no good answer? You're lucky to have found something which works.

Answer 3

I have not heard of this but it's great if it works. I know of people using olive oil on eczema. Best of luck to you!

Answer 4

Like anything else an excess can be bad so if you are careful I would think it okay, just stop when your head starts to turn brown and hairy....

Answer 5

no it is not bad at all.a interesting fact is that the milk from baby coconuts can actually be used as blood plasma in surgery,so it wont harm your skin a bit.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yes it will affect you. It will give you skin cancer and you will die from it.
