Question 1

what is the final color of hypertrophic scar if using on it undiluted tea tree oil after two years?

Accepted Answer

Any color: can be normal for a hypertrophic scar, (well, white, pink or brown; not green or blue probably!)  Everyone is different and the tea tree oil probably hasn't and won't affect the color.  If the scar is dark in color, certain lasers could help to remove the color.  If white or light, a laser might make it smaller but won't make it go away.

Question 2

i have a hypertrophic scar on my cartilage piercing. what should happen if i use undiluted tea tree oil on it? it's painful, crusty & bleeds sometimes

Accepted Answer

No help: This will do nothing for you. A dermatologist will help you.

Question 3

tea tree oil left really bad red scars on face . i don't know what to do to remove them , it's been there  for months please help ?

Accepted Answer

Scars;VitaminE: Life holds no guarantees as we know, but vitamin e oil placed directly on the scar regularly can help to fade or remove the scar.  You can get a bottle of it in the drug store.  It's inexpensive and worth a try; just be patient.

Question 4

help me please i applied tea tree oil in my skin for acne and it burned and now it's raw skin !!! i don't want a scar please help ?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: You may have a sensitivity to the chemicals in the tea tree, or to an additive, and may require medical attention to get healed. Do see your medical professional for treatment of your condition, to find out whether it is safe for you to use tea tree oil, and to find an alternative treatment for your acne. Hope that helps.

Question 5

do you think the burn i got from using undeluted tea tree oil will scar? it's a dark reddish right now i'm keeping it dry with antibiotic powder :(

Accepted Answer

Need more info: I think that using antibiotic powder may not be the correct thing to do and may delay healing. Try washing the area with soap &amp; water then see your family physician for followup to help prevent infection and/or scarring.

Question 6

is it recommended to use tea tree oil for acne scars?

Accepted Answer

You decide: This is a pop remedy that's a weak estrogen and is preferred by "natural healing" types to the mainstream stuff that obviously works. Don't short-change yourself; if you're a guy be alert to gynecomastia from it.

Question 7

is tea tree oil helpful in getting rid of scars on your legs?

Accepted Answer

Myth but use if help: Many of my patients swear by the benefits of tea tree or bio-oil and so i generally don't dissuade them but there is very little science to support its use. It is probably the massage, (which we know helps scars)  that is used to apply the oil, which is actually providing the improvements observed. Massage with any clean oil 3-4 times a day. Silicon gel trips are morel likely to improve the scar.

Question 8

tea tree oil on old keloid/hypertropic piercing scar. how can i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: Are you asking how to get rid of hypertrophic scars or the tea tree oil?  I assume the former.  If so, there are several answers for treatment of hypertrophic scars.  Please look them up.

Question 9

do you think i should apply tea tree oil all over my face or just on acne scars?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

is it normal for the burn i got on my forehead from undeluted tea tree oil to have water coming out if it ? does that mean it'll scar?

Accepted Answer

Exudate: The clear fluid is likely exudate, a response of your body to the injury.  Cool compresses with aloe vera gel may help.  Always remember to dilute teat tree oil with another oil, such as grapeseed, before applying it to the skin, and never take it internally.
