Tea tree oil on my snug and scaffold piercing?
Both my snug and scaffold keep scabbing up, and it's been over a month since i had it pierced. i think i'm irritating it more because i keep picking at the scabs by habit. i've been reading and people say tea tree oil is good for this kind of thing? or if it isn't, what is good for what is happening? if i can use tea tree oil on them, do you have to dilute it? and how do you apply it? on the box i am getting it says it's 100% pure.
Aggiornamento:I use a product called easy piercing that my piercer gave me for my nose. there are three different tubes in the box, theres is a white foam, what looks to be salt water, and a liquid that is i'm not sure what it is, i cleaned my ear 2 times a day, but i stopped a couple of weeks ago, should i carry on?

By scabbing up, are you talking about the crust that builds around your piercing? That's normal, especially in three piercings that are going to take 6-12 months (sometimes longer) to heal. Tea tree oil is too harsh. Make sure you're doing sea salt soaks twice a day for 5-10 minutes each soak with 1/4th of a teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt to 8oz of hot water to keep them clean.
definite! I additionally had hypertrophic scarring so i offered some tea tree oil at Walmart and rubbed it on the scar with a q-tip. i could dilute it with water because of the fact the scent is quite good. The scar did no longer at present day bypass away, and positively i do no longer understand if it even went away because of the oil, yet i could nonetheless provide it a shot.
If these piercings are relatively fresh the crusties are normal as they take 6-12 months to fully heal are you cleaning them with sea salt and warm water twice a day for at least the first 6 months? No fiddling or tea-tree oi is good personally I always use bio-oil and it's brilliant but don't use it too much you don't want to pack your piercing with too many healing products it will have the opposite effect :)
I would be hesitant to use any kind of oil on a piercing that is still irritated, because you never know if it could irritate it more.
Maybe try doing sea salt soaks on them, which is what most piercers recommend after getting a piercing. When my nipple rings act up and begin getting sore again, I do a salt soak and the pain goes away almost instantly.
If your ears are still scabby and stuff, you should also probably go back to your piercer and have them look at it to clear your mind. Also keep in mind that the scaffold, or industrial, piercing takes a while to heal. Some people have said that it took a year or more.
Good luck! :)
use tree oil its magic =]
