Your skin was turning red because you were using a high concentration of tea tree oil. Dilute it by putting a couple of drops in olive oil. Five to 10% is the amount of tea tree oil needed.

I had an uncomfortable skin tag on my neck. It was irritated. A skin doctor wasn't worried about it being cancerous (my mom has had melonoma). So I decided to use my cure-all Tea tree oil. I put a dab on in the morning undiluted. It, over a week or so, became red and crusty. I kept applying the tea tree. Sometimes two times a day. The crusty part would fall off and new fresh skin would be under. I kept it up and eventually one time the crusty scab fell off and there was nothing underneath it. Voila! It has never been back.

What is a skin tag? Is it like a big brown flat mole? Thanks, Carolyn

I read the review for skin tags and Tea Tree oil, I bougt 100% Tea Tree oil. My intention was to apply the oil to a skin tag that had developed underneath my right eye. I applied the oil 3 times a day for 7 days. Day 1, I see the skin tage is shrinking! Day 2, it is even smaller, Day 3, the tag is itching, growing smaller darkening, Day 4, same thing even more! Day 5, I was absent mindly scratching and itch on my face the skin tag fell off! I was awed, rush to a mirror and it was gone! Tree Tea oil, pure for me does take away skin tags. This tag had been on my face for two years and no matter what I used, it was still there. I. Then began to use it on skin tags that were developing (3) and they are almost gone.
So I began to use it on dark spots on my nose from wearing glasses for 40 years and they are diminishing also! I am absolutely blown away! It gets better... I have adult acne, and yes, you guessed it! They are going away also! Some of the pimples have been on my face for almost a year! Is Tea Tree oil a component of the fountain of youth? I do not know, what I DO know is that skin problems that I have spent hundreds of dollars in during my lifetime disappear and leave me looking less aged, with almost flawless skin and I love it! Pure Tea Tree oil is volatile, do not apply it to your face without adequate ventalation. Do not apply it and go to bed, it will irritate your eyes and nose, apply it at least 20 minutes prior to bedtime. This stuff work amazingly well.

So I recently bought tea trea oil the other day, and was applying it directly to my spots. It was working great, and you could already see the positive effects. However, one night I didn't have a mirror, so I applied it with a cotton swab all over my chin area. The next morning I woke up it was stained a reddish brownish color, and the whole area is horribly dry. I realize now that I should've diluted it, but when will the stain go away?

Sweaty Hands

I added 6 or so drops of tea tree oil to around 3T of olive oil and covered my hands in it before I went to sleep. The tea tree oil meant it was absorbed quickly, but you may want to alter the timing if you are concerned about the oil getting onto your sheets.
I did this for 2 nights then stopped and it was almost 2 weeks before I noticed the sweating was becoming a problem again. It didn't completely stop my palms from sweating but now I don't have to be nervous when I go to shake hands etc.
*the season has also just changed (spring>summer) so I don't know whether that also had some effect.

My girlfriends and I, along with all our children, meet weekly in the evenings, at our community center. One evening, when tea was being served, one of the young children ran by and knocked the entire pot of tea all over one of the older girl's legs. She is 12 years old. The sight of that steaming tea all over that poor girl's legs was like a nightmare. It looked like her legs were going to be ruined.
She was rushed to the restroom, by her mother [my friend], and placed in the shower. My friend kept running cold water on her legs to relieve the pain. But she wouldn't stop wailing and her mother didn't know what to do.
I knew that tea tree oil was good for burns, and since I had some in my bag, I offered to apply some to her legs. I had to assure my friend, and especially her daughter, that it would definately be of some help. They did not even know what tea tree oil was, so they were hesitant. But clearly ANYTHING that could help would be welcome, because the girl was screaming uncontrolably at this point.
We took her out of the shower and dried her legs as best we could. Then, I put some oil in the palm of my hand, rubbed my hands together, and rubbed the oil on her legs. For a brief moment, everything was okay. But then she started screaming like you wouldn't believe, saying it was hurting her even more.
Admittedly, I was a little surprised myself, because I had not experienced a reaction like that before [neither from myself, nor from any of my children]. My friend was alarmed, and asked me if that was normal. I told her I had never seen that type of reaction, but that I thought it was because her legs were wet and her pores were open.
I asked her daughter to be patient and wait, and that it would soon get better. She tried her best to wait in out, but she was unable to bear the pain. At this point she was jumping up and down begging us to take it off of her.
I felt really bad because she was clearly in a lot of pain because of ME, but I didn't really know what to do because I thought that water would only push the oil deeper into her her skin. After briefly discussing it, my friend decided to try washing it off, because doing something was better than doing nothing.
After washing her legs off with soap, like a much welcome blessing from God, she stopped crying. 23 loooooooonng minutes, and she finally stopped crying! She said it still hurt a little, but that it felt much better.
My friend took her daughter home, and the next morning she called me to let me know that there was not a single mark on her daughter's legs. It was as if nothing had happened!

It is great for dandruff. Put a teaspoon in a bottle of 100ml of shampoo and after a few weeks your dandruff will be gone. Didn't see the warnings on here about not using it on cats and dogs, so I even put a dropperful in my dogs shampoo and her coat looked great. She had no side effects but read some comments stating that their pets did. Works great on humans tho.

I dip a cotton bud into the oil (100%, or even the dilluted version) and rub it onto the bite, sometimes I reapply it, and before you know it - its gone!

Tea tree oil also kills nail fungus and probably kills plantar warts on the bottom of feet. I was using it on toenails and it would run under my foot when I applied it. The plantar wart went away along with the nail fungus. Use the oil regularly on the nails until they grow out. You will see the nails gradually thin as the fungus dies and once it grows out, it's perfect.
