A member asked:
I am afraid of using tea tree oil on my face?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Why?: There is no reason to be afraid of using tea tree oil on your face. This oil has been used in different forms for hundreds of years. The most common side effect is severe drying of the skin. This being said, depending on the condition you want to treat, there exists many options.

You should be: It may bother you. You neglect to indicate the indication. Tea tree oil is about the last choice for treating anything. If you have a reason--any reason---to treat something on your face, you can be sure there are legitimate products which actually do something useful. So why experiment with a worthless, often irritating scam?
