I know I'm days late with this reply but in the event that someone should peruse this board later looking for an answer, here's my idea on this subject:
Even though, I have used tea tree oil for many scrapes and cuts, it seems that the OIL part of the TEA TREE OIL may perhaps spread the POISON IVY OILS further on the skin. Not sure though. Maybe something to consider... I guess if one were to use the TEA TREE OIL, perhaps dapping it on (not rubbing it around) and then dressing the area with some cotton gauze.
GOOD LUCK!!! |
