How bad does tea tree oil sting? i plan on using it for my infected ingrown toenail...?

It'll sting more if it's used on an open wound that's actively bleeding (which you should never use it on), but more people are put off by the smell of it than the pain, so it shouldn't be too bad.





You can also try soaking your foot in warm water with Epsom Salts, then using cotton to gently hold the toenail away from the skin while it driesHow bad does tea tree oil sting? i plan on using it for my infected ingrown toenail...?
It will sting for a couple of second, byut in the long run it will make it feel better. Just make sure it isn't an open wound.
