I've had a dark red burn for over a week from tea tree oil on the bra line in a bandage shape. neosporin and hydrocortisone are making it worse. help?

Try just hydrocort: Neosporin should not be used in the absence of an infection . In your case you may well be allergic to the neomycin in Neosporin thus making the rash worse. Try hydrocortisone alone. If problem persists for more than a week or gets worse, see doctor.
