A member asked:

Can tea tree oil products cause new or more facial hair growth in women?

Specializes in Dermatology

No: Tea tree oil will not cause increased hair growth for either men or women. The cause for this problem in women may be related to hormonal imbalance and increase testosterone effects (hirsutism). Have this checked out by your doctor.
