It is, actually. Like most nuts (and a few other foods), peanut oil includes among its fats a high level of monounsaturated fats, which actually have a net positive effect. Polyunsaturated fats are the next best (largely neutral), while saturated fats are a big villain, health-wise. Peanut oil is very good for frying, because it doesn't smoke until you get it very hot (hotter than home cooks are ever likely to reach). So unless you're allergic to peanuts, peanut oil is a good choice (and it doesn't have a heavy peanut taste, like you might think).
Peanut oil has several qualities which make it a good topical treatment:
It is emollient, which means it moisturizes and soothes the skin. It is high in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E which nourish the skin. It contains high levels of mono saturated, healthy fats, which also help add moisture to the skin. Peanut oil is non-comedogenic, which means it does not cause break-outs.
However, when applying oil to the skin, especially for acne-prone and oily-skinned individuals, it is important to use them gently and sparingly as to avoid over-moisturizing or irritating the skin.
However, while peanut oil is an effective topical skin treatment, it peanuts are also high in androgens, a hormone which is linked to the production if acne. Acne-prone individuals may wish to avoid consuming peanuts for this reason.
As peanut Allergies are very common, you may wish to get tested for any allergies before using peanut oil topically.
Peanut oil is one of the less commonly used household or cooking oils for natural Skin Care, but it's especially beneficial for dry skin. Those who are prone to acne and/or oily skin have reported breakouts from peanut oil. It's got a mild but definite peanut scent, so bear that in mind if you are adding other scents to your peanut oil.
Important: Those with peanut allergies will probably develop a topical allergic reaction if peanut oil is applied to the skin, so anyone with a peanut allergy should avoid use of peanuts even externally.
Nothing is bad for you in moderation. But among other types of oil, peanut is somewhere in the middle; it's not too bad for you, but not that great either.
I am not an expert but i think it might be bad for your skin and it might irritate it. Sorry if this is not good enough.
Good

Peanut butter is not an oil, but it does contain oil. It contains peanut oil, of course.
Drinking pure peanut oil is just a bad idea. You'd probably feel very sick after consuming less than a cup of it straight.
commercially made peanut butter contains oil
My guess is because the peanut is altered and the allergy is less noticeable when it is in peanut butter or peanut oil. I do however believe you are still having an allergic reaction to the peanut butter or oil when you come into contact with it.
Yes, it is true.
