Soothing sores - Tea tree oil?

nh_user_655808 · April 1, 2015, 4:13pm

Hi everyone, just a quick question on how to soothe the sores? I'm in quite a bit of pain and would love to get a handle on this....I've got 100% pure tea tree oil but no olive oil,what else could I dilute this with to apply?

Or I've got a tea tree cream?

Has anyone else used tea tree oil to soothe their sores, or anything else?

Thanks x

Hi there

I have used lidocaine. Available to buy over the counter at pharmacies and has a numbing effect so helps with the pain

Hi there, I just mixed 15 drops of tea tree oil in a glass of warm water and then put a pad in my knickers, soaked cotton wool pads in the mixture and lined these along my pad and kept it on like that for half an hour, it's definitely eased the itching and burning x
