Olive oil can help with some skin diseases including:
1. Eczema & Psoriasis: Olive oil hydrates dry, flaky skin and soothes inflammation, providing relief from itching and irritation.
2. Seborrheic Dermatitis: It softens and removes scales on the scalp and skin, while reducing redness and discomfort.
3. Mild Acne: Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can help, but it may clog pores in oily skin, so use cautiously.
4. Dry Skin: Olive oil effectively moisturizes and restores dry, scaly skin.
Always use extra virgin olive oil, apply sparingly, and do a patch test. Consult a healthcare provider for severe conditions.
