no it is just strong, it’s healing and cleaning so it’s gotta sting a little. If you are concerned you may be allergic, go to your doctor.

No it won’t cause scaring but you should not apply it straight to the face. Dilute it as your face is pretty sensitive. It also should not sting your face when you apply it. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just buy a facial product that contains tea tree oil instead of trying to dilute it yourself?

no scarring, tea tree oil simply works as natural antiseptic. i’ve tried it on acne a couple of times since i used to be covered by pimples all over my face when i was a teenager. Didn’t really work out for me, but still it didn’t really leave any scars. Besides, many cosmetic products such as acne treaments, astringents are alot more abrasive compared to it.

You shouldn’t use 100% tea tree oil all over your face. You could burn the skin. Were you trying to use it as an astringent?? Tree tree oil should be used as a spot treatment on acne or on scrapes, cuts, cold sores etc.
There are tree tree oil products on the market safe for you face. The Body Shop carries a great line.

Tea tree oil shouldn’t be used on open cuts or sores. It will sting a lot. But it won’t cause scaring. Also keep it away from your eyes. Again it will sting a lot. For open cuts use a triple antibiotic cream with tea tree oil in it. Melaluca has many products with tea tree oil in them.

No it won’t scar - it is a good bacteria cleaner. If your skin is sensitive do not use it daily - or if you do use it daily use it only on blemishes.

It will not cause scarring, but Tea Tree Oil is VERY STRONG, therefore you would want to delute it in a 2:1 ratio with water.
