A member asked:

I'm scared of using tea tree oil on my face, what could happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tea tree oil: Some people may be allergic to tea tree oil. You can get a contact dermatitis if you are allergic. I would do a test spot on your inner arm and see if you get a rash. If you do, dont use it on your face.
