Because, if you choose carrier oil like coconut oil, it may help clog your pores in the nose, which can also worsen the present condition. Even though coconut oil is a good anti-inflammatory agent, its saturated fatty acids content make it too oily, and hence may worsen acne and pimple related conditions when used.
