Baby Oil

[jiml]

Hello David and welcome to the club, you will find it a very friendly place, and you will get lots of answers to your question I'm sure.
I don't think baby oil will ruin your clothes, I think it should wash out, but I'm no expert. I though like many others use a quality coconut oil rubbed well in, as a moisturiser helps and I have never had my clothes ruined by using it.
If you just have it around your belly button I would try coconut oil instead of baby oil,
That's just my opinion. As Caroline has said there is a lol of information on the site. If you need any help just shout and someone will answer. Look forward to hearing more from you as time goes on

I have the dry scarily skin in multiple places treating the belly button is the only one I was worried about ruining my clothing. Thank you for your advice I have seen you mention coconut oil many times as well as others refer to your fondness of it ? I believe I will give it a try for the belly at least and see how it does. My psoriasis started with a 2x2 inch patch on my scalp (the only patch that has been gone for years) it is now on both knees, both elbows, the outside of both ears, hands, all 10 nails, crotch, anus, right shin, and as I said my belly button.

The fact you have it in many places makes me think ( in my opinion) that it's probably time to move to the next level of treatment, as treating the skin is not addressing your problem, topical creams are only meant for short term treatment, and if you have also been diagnosed with psoriatic psoriasis, the sooner you get onto some systemic treatment, the better for your joints and your skin....

The coconut oil is something that Fred advised me to use when I joined here, and although I am currently virtually clear I keep a tub of coconut oil and at the first sign of a plaque I spread it on and rub well in

Thanks for coming back and giving us some more information
Jim
