Has Anyone Tried Tea Tree Oil for PS Scars?

[beckymein1021 0]

I have a friend who had a bad cut on his hand (granted, this is FAR from PS), but he used tea tree oil topically and I was amazed and how well, fast and smooth it healed.

Has this been recommended to anyone by their Plastic Surgeon or has anyone used tea tree oil? I was just wondering if there were any anecdotal accounts out there of people who had used it successfully.

Thanks!

I tried using it for scars, but not surgery scars. I will say be careful - tea tree oil in its pure form is very potent and not something everyone can tolerate. Ends up that I can only use small amounts with inert/carrier oils. When I used it full strength, it more or less "burned" me and it took about 9 weeks to get my skin back to normal.

BTW, it didn't really make much difference. Any at all, actually.
