Is it safe to moisturize with pure coconut oil?

Asked By:mommyo4 in Morehead City, NC

I am almost 2 weeks tummy tuck and breast lift and aug. post op and the sterile strips have mostly come off. There is still some scabbing. I usually moisturize with pure coconut oil because it is gentle and natural. I just want to make sure it's safe to just go ahead and use it everywhere.
