Alergic to Coconut oil nit lotion

4 replies

NinaPatel70 · 29/04/2013 23:28

My son seems to come out in red blotches around his head where/when we use coconut based nit lotions.

Does anyone know why, or what is as good as coconut oil for smothering those little critters?

Thanks,
Nina

I would say it's because he's allergic to coconut.
