how to use tea tree oil for acne
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
- Combine 1 to 2 drops of tea tree oil with 12 drops of a carrier oil. However, be careful using any additional oils on your face. Any type of oil product has the potential to worsen acne.
- Before applying diluted tea tree oil to your face, do a small patch test on the inside of your elbow. Signs of skin sensitivity or an allergic reaction include itchiness, redness, swelling, and burning.
- Before applying the oil, wash your face with a gentle cleanser for acne-prone skin, and pat it dry.
- Gently apply diluted tea tree oil by dabbing it on your blemishes with a cotton round or pad.
- Allow to dry. Follow up with your usual moisturizer.
- Repeat morning and night.

I've been really anxious since my circumcision surgery 44 days ago because the stitches are still there. How much longer do these typically take to dissolve? Also, I'm curious when the sensitivity might start to decrease. Is there anything I should be doing in the meantime?
No need to worry they dissolve in 120-180 days depending upon the type of material used, sensitivity will become less with time.
