Question 7

Accepted Answer

Umbilication: Molluscum contagiosum bumps have a characteristic indentation or umbilicalion at the top of  each bump.  This can sometimes be appreciated with a magnifying glass.  A dermatologist will often give the bump in question a light freeze with liquid nitrogen to accentuate the umbilication so when in doubt see your dermatologist.

Accepted Answer

Probably not fungus: You forgot to identify the "medicated cream". Tea tree  oil is not very effective. You need to begin with a precise diagnosis. "Fungus" is not likely. See a dermatologist.

Question 9

what to do if i got the tea tree oil and have been using it for 2 days and my skin is so bumpy and im getting black head type things. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties  but undiluted tea tree oil may burn your skin.  Tea tree oil should always be diluted with another oil (such as grapeseed) prior to application and should never be taken internally.  If worsening of the appearance of the skin occurs with use, it should be discontinued!

Question 10

can tea tree oil actually clear up your skin?

Accepted Answer

Tea Tree oil: Tea Tree oil (Melaleuca) has been used for fungal, bacterial and viral infections. Other uses include lice, congestion, acne, boils, warts, yeast infections, dandruff &amp; inflammatory skin conditions.
