How to properly use tea trea oil on an ear piercing? do i try to get it inside the hole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: Tea tree oil is used for anything that pertains to the skin. It should not be ingested. I found quite a few documented uses for it but using it in conjunction with ear piercing was not one of the uses. So I can not tell you to use it or not use it.
