I just put some all over my DS's VERY sun burnt back (my aloe died) I hope it helps - he has been swimming at Grandmas all day- you would think someoone would have noticed he was the color of a lobster!

Skagital, thanks! I brought my mom some tea tree oil this morning. She's been dealing with flareups of shingles for quite some time and the meds the doctors gave her weren't a lot of help. She did the cottonball thing on a bad spot on her face, fell asleep and woke up a few hours later and said it's working!

I've found it immensely helpful for bug bites - rub it in vigorously and let it dry. It burns, but pulls out the toxins.
I was bit by a couple of spiders and did this - headed off the infection so fast, a scab-type pimple peeled off a few days later leaving new skin beneath.

All it takes to make a difference is one person.

I have a bad rash that is so itchy I feel like I could scratch my own skin off! At first I thought it was just very dry skin. Baby oil, Bag Balm, A&D diaper rash ointment, Vaseline, Udder Cream, hydrocortisone cream, haven't given me much relief.
The only thing new in my diet is a gluten-free muffin I've been making at home, so I think I'm reacting to one of the ingredients in that (not a gluten reaction though). I didn't realize that may be it until yesterday, though. Yesterday morning, it was only on my legs. Now it's on my arms and stomach. I'm taking Benedryl. DH is going to go to the store when he gets off of work to get Lanacane (sp). If that doesn't help, I'm going to try tea tree oil.

Thank you, Jeepers!! The Lanacane is helping some with the itching. I ordered tea tree oil, vitamin e oil and aloe gel. I hoping one of those will help.

Does anyone have dosage information that they wouldn't mind sharing? I'd really appreciate it!!!!
I have books on supplements/vitamins. There's info on what conditions are good to use tea tree oil for, but no dosage/dilution ratio information. I have sensitive skin, so I know to just try a little on a small part of my rash, but I don't know what "a little" is.
I ordered NOW brand 100% pure tea tree oil. On the label it says:
Suggested Use: For aromatherapy use. For all other uses, carefully dilute with a carrier oil such as jojoba, grapeseed, olive, or almond oil prior to use. Please consult an essential oil book or other professional reference source for suggested dilution ratios.
Natural essential oils are highly concentrated and should be used with care.

Essential Oil: 3 to 5 drops
Base Oil: 5ml (1 tsp)
Tea tree oil can also be used as a "Neat Application" - undiluted as a spot treatment.
I would suggest you choose a least sensitive spot to test whether you are sensitive to it or not.
I have used the neat application without any adverse effects.

Keep Tea Tree Oil on hand but not stocked. A bit pricey for us right now. However, it is very good mixed with Noxema and some Lavender facial mask for insect bites. Just a few tiny drops mixed with about 5 TBSP of Noxema and 1 TBSP of lavendar facial mask. I buy the lavendar facial mask at Dollar Tree, but I'm sure you could use other types...cucumber? Dab it on the bite (mosquito!) and let it take out the itchy itchy!This little forum has soooo much good things about it!
