Hi Rosie, a belated welcome to Psoriasis Club. I have been away interstate for work, so I haven't checked the boards for a few days.
I don't have much to add over and above what the others have said other than to say give the coconut oil a go and if you don't like the smell, I have found you can add a drop or so of a gentle essential oil, personally I use two drops of Tea Tree oil in about 200ml of coconut oil which makes it smell better (I think) and has the added bonus of being an antiseptic.
This is only what works for me and I'm not advocating it for everyone, but if you decide to try some essential oil in your coconut oil, I would recomend you try it on a small area to make sure it doesn't have an adverse reaction.
Again welcome to the club, there are lots of knowledgable and friendly people here so jump in with both feet
Cheers,
Craig
