Let’s not forget that tea tree is an anti bacterial so if you dilute it in water you can use it as an antibacterial
How diluted does it need to be??
Beauts & Shoots use 3 or 4 drops of tea tree oil with a sea salt soak or water
This is correct. You should dilute it first.
I watched this two weeks ago and can finally report that the tea tree definitely helped! I was really worried about the bump being permanent. So glad it’s gone.
girl_bye _ did u wash ur piercing before putting Tea tree oil?
Did you dilute the tea tree oil? Or just apply it straight on?
@@lynny4625 wait please i just started using the oil today, did it help??
@@emmalox562 YES SO MUCH! But my advice is but do not over do it!!!! When it starts to get better stop applying and after a while slowly ween off and stop completely . Also don’t mess with the piercing as much as possible, like touching and bumping. I would recommend getting a friend or family member to help apply the tea tree more precisely. Mine was a bit infected as well (it was a daith) and I did a salt soak as well. But over all the fix it’s if it is perhaps a keloid is to not over do it!!
@@lynny4625 GOD OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! how long did it take for it to go away?
I used tea tree oil, one drop on a q-tip and then sprayed a bit of neilmeds saline solution to dilute it a bit on the qtip, applied it to my piercing bump twice a day, every day. The piercing bump scabbed off and my cartilage piercing is healing so well now. Definitely works.
did you leave your cartilage piercing in while applying it on the bump? or did you take out the piercing to apply it
@@erikn1010 I kept my jewelry in, taking it out it would have just healed over and my helix piercing would be no more haha. I just worked around the jewelry as best as I could
I had a small keloid scar on my nose piercing, I tried a few of the different home remedies: salt water, tea bag, tea tree oil, aspirin paste. Nothing worked, until I took out the original stainless steel jewelry the piercer had used and put in gold. It went away in a few days and I haven’t had a problem since (2 years). Maybe try changing the type of metal if nothing else is working for you. :)
Liz J yeah same for me! I had granulation on my belly button piercing and I was stressed because it wasn’t going away. I switched the bar from the original to a plastic bar and it cleared up in a week literally
How much did you pay for the gold piercing
Wait I thought stainless was what you wanted to use?
Kristin Owens there’s people that react a certain way with certain metals my ears are sensitive so I need to use gold but some people are able to use lower class metals titanium is also a good option
Same thing is happening to me, did you put in real 18k gold ? Or 14k?
I have 17 years of professional piercing experience and in my time I have learned everyone is different and all skin is different. For some people (myself included) tea tree oil was the only thing that healed piercings correctly and beautiful. For others I know that H2Ocean has saved their piercings. For most people, simple saline solution. Those 3 things are the best things in my experience to use on a piercing. Sometimes the best solution for keloids is to try a different metal like gold, or just to take it out entirely.
Your immune system is only thing that heals a wound. No product or mixed concoction will save a piercing. If plain ol water is used from the start to keep oxidized plasma off jewelry and people are informed about collagen tissue buildup prevention isn't that best? No products can prevent or make better what the immune system is meant to do. Biocompatible jewelry, reduce mechanical movement/pressure/snags and only water to remove dried plasma. It's that easy.
I’m going to buy tea tree oil on my tragus bump but i’m worried that the bump will come back even a bigger. I read a lot of things like it can happen
This is really helpful. I’ve been researching forever and this helped me, thanks!
Love himmmm so straight to the point❤️ all his vids have helped me!
This was so much help , thank you for explaining how it works and it’s effects and cautioning to be careful no other video did
this was super helpful, thank you!!
Thank you for this! I have a keloid on my helix piercing and my piercer said to use tea tree oil. But when I looked it up people were saying it was bad to use.
Matt is my piercer, one of the best in SLO county. I always trust his judgement and advice. I just recently got an irritation bump on one of my conch piercings and I'm definitely going to try the tea tree oil. Keep up the good informative videos.
Used this advice exactly 3 weeks ago and I must say it WORKED!!!!! I almost thought I was gonna have a permanent bump/scar. I was almost getting rid of the belly ring too. Thank you!
I've always been told to add a few drops of tea tree oil to saline solution for cleaning and healing piercings
I wish I watched the BEFORE and not after I did everything he recommended not to do😂
Exactly
Me too
Dude I know. EVERYONE says to use a cotton swab to clean your piercing, including my piercer. But he's saying not to wtf
🙋🏻♀️same here lol
So upset that my piercer told me to use cotton swabs. I have a bump and I’m trying to get rid of it now.
That was super helpful thanks for explaining all so well. I hope this does the trick for my tragus piercing bump.
Filipa Alves did it work?
Funny thing is... I pieces my keloid since 22th of November and got a keloid 3 weeks later.. I stayed with this keloid up to 5 days ago. All things were going wrong with my piercing and I honestly didn't want another one in my life again with all the trouble I faced. So I said God to heal my piercing and the next day it was done disappearing. I thank God for he is a healer
I partake in this miracle in Jesus'name.amen
exactly what i was lookin for ! :)
omg i'm so glad i found this because i saw another video that said to get it in the piercing and i did that twice and it BURNED SO MUCH and i knew this must be wrong thank god i saw this!!!
I made sure it went inside he Piercing just because I thought myself it will make it better, didn’t see it anywhere and for my my helix was burning as well and my ear went red, but the next day my pressure bump was gone and the piercing wasn’t sore
Could you do a video demonstrating on an industrial piercing with a keloid or scar
I have a piercing bump on my helix. My piercer recommended tea tree oil. But she wasn’t as detailed as this. Thank you!
THESE ARE SO HELPFUL THANK UUU
Just got a bump on my 3rd lobe piercing. I’ve never gotten them before (and I have 9 piercings) so I’m manifesting that the tee tree oil works!
hello I like to say thank you brother. I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and it has been really influential. It has helped me a lot I have about five piercings that I got done professionally, my nose piercing was done with a piercing gun which at first I was skeptic, I've been told various times at professional pierces and tattoos that a nose should never get pierced to the gun for reasons .hat they should only get pierced with a clamp and needle. Which I definitely agree but I have to say honestly thank God I have an experienced any infections or adverse reactions or bumps. But I do buy these these hair products just to have them sort of being on the safe side you know but I like to say thank you very much for all the videos that you have posted on RUclips because I watch each and every one of them and it definitely helps a lot including friends of mine that ask me questions. Thanks man
For my conch I used tea tree oil for the bumps. It wasn’t pierced with a stud like I hoped, so I eventually swapped it for an internally threaded stud when it healed a bit better. Still wearing it because all hoops have been just so loose or too tight. For my nose ring I’m doing the same thing for the little bump on the inside of my nose. Just a q tip and saline solution, and I do let it go into the piercing. I’m aware of the risks, but tea tree is also the best antibacterial I have found. It can dry out the skin, but that’s why you don’t want to use it often or just wipe the excess off after a little while.
Thanks for the advice!
Used tea tree oil on the irritation bump that I get on my industrial piercing and it works every time. It usually goes away for a few months but if I sleep on it a lot or snag it with a towel I will usually get another bump that doesn’t go away until I use tea tree. I just put one drop on a cotton swab and touch it directly to the irritation bump, avoiding the surrounding skin, every morning for about 5 days. by the 3rd day it shrinks down and by 5 it’s so dry it practically falls off.
well i used q tips and my bump on my nose went away within a week no damage at all looks like a fresh piercing .
Hali G. Vlogs did you use tea tree oil?
Hali G. Vlogs what did you use and how
WE NEED ANSWERS HALI
I used Tea Tree Oil .
& q tips twice a day because the tea tree oil smells really strong .
I am going through absolute hell with my conch piercing. I’ve had it for about 4 months now, it seems to be okay for a while and then become infected and just continues back and forth. I stick to sea salt soaks and H2Ocean spray, but it’s gotten to the point where it has a huge bump, oozes pus and blood/lymph. Should I go ahead and try tea tree oil?
Helped a lot thanks👍🏼
Thank you for this 👏 I’ve had my cartilage piercing for 5 months and I recently got an awful keloid above it. Started using tea tree oil a few days ago, already noticing a difference!!!!
What did u do exactly... did u use tea tree then a spray orrr? I’m getting tea tree to help my irritation bump but idk how to use it 🤦♀️
@@gabgab5183 either dulited it in saline and spray it on with ratio of 2 - 3drops to 1 cup of saline solution or dip a qtip in the tea tree oil bottle directly and put it gently on the bump once a day for a week stop using it for a day then use it again, don't use it every day. Also soak your ears for 5-7 minutes in a warm salt water and go to the shower to rinse your ears from the soak. After that remove any crust or puss coming out of the Piercing to keep it clean.
To treat a nose bump do I have to dilute the tea tree oil first or just use it straight out of the bottle? Thanks you much for any answers!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON HIM!!!!!!💙💙💙💙💙
I just got a minor nose infection (a red bump but not super noticable) so was wondering if I can use tea tree oil for it.
Hey I hope you’re well brother I appreciate your advice.
Am I the only one that hates tea tree oil smell ???
X. XV no its awful!!!!
I hate it too 🤮
i gagged 😖
X. XV I hate it
Hate it
What about a septum piercing bump??
If you can’t use q-tips or cotton balls, what do you use?
I’ve been doing sea salt soak to get rid of my bumps and it’s slowly working like I really don’t know what to do?
This worked wonderfully I’ve used it for less than a week and I can already tell it’s getting so much better!!! The bottle said to dilute but I didn’t. My nose piercing finally stopped bleeding :)
Please help! I am about 6 months into healing my belly piercing and scar tissue formed on the side of it! Now my piercing about 45 degrees off angle with the scar tissue sitting center. I love my piercing but it being cockeyed makes me self conscious of it. Should I take it out and wait for it to heal and get it re-pierced or do you think tea tree oil would help in the combination of surgical tape to keep the piercing center. Would really like your thoughts, Thank you!
Crossing my fingers. This troublesome keloid was shrinking with tea tree oil in the morning and salt water at night. It was nearly flat. Today after jumping out of the shower, the bump was HUGE. What happened??! Needless to say, I'm devastated. I'll try using the tea tree oil on its own.
My piercings I used salt water on all went wrong and some I even had to retire, my piercings I used a tea tree and water mix on, always have healed beautifully with no issues at all, will personally always choose tea tree oil and water mix for the healing process over salt water, but everyone’s different I guess
DochertysUnicorns how do u do the water mix?
Do you clean the piercing with the mix?
Tania John you boil some water and then once poured into a bowl you put in a few drops of tea tree (demending on how much water you have)
What ratio of tea tree oil to water did you use? Like 2 drops per half a cup or something like that?
DochertysUnicorns do you have to dilute the tea tree oil?
Thank you so, SO much!
I think it depends on the person as with everything else but salt water for “me” personally made my piercing bleed more heavily. I didn’t use it until 2 days after I got it done because I was too chicken to mess with it. So it shouldn’t have been bleeding as if it was freshly done. I used tea tree oil every since and it hasn’t bled again so far. Looks like it’s completely healed now. Going into my 2nd week. 🙌🏽
What if you have a bump inside your piercing? I have a industrial piercing and I have bumps on both holes, inside and out. What should I do
I’ve been using just tea tree oil on my perfectly fine helix piercings and just started doing saline soaks but after I did a saline soak yesterday it made what seemed like my skin get stuck to the piercing
Can I use carrot,tea tree oil and salt to heal it?
Well-explained!!!
My septum got infected, and i use my salt soaks and then right after i use this medical grade tea tree oil and it's helped alot and at night to use lavender oil (dilute it) it helped get rid of the redness and ease some of the pain this helps for me but hopefully it helps anyone else!
Krystal Williams what did you dilute it with?
How do you get medical tea tee oil and also any lavender???
My 8 month old swats at my relatively new nose peircing....its been fine, but now its starting to get infected thanks to her....my little sweetheart...
Used tea tree oil on my eyebrow piercing that kept getting snagged on my shirts and my hair ! Started to form a keloid and used tea tree oil for 3 days and it is completely gone ! I’m so happy it worked better than i ever imagined
If using tea tree oil do you leave the pins in after cleaning it ooh have also develoed a keloid😭😭
Thanks so much. The tea tree oil tip has made such a difference to my bump which I was struggling to get rid of. The sea salt soaks just won't cutting it to reduce it down alone!
Jess what kind of bump is it? Mine looks like a pustule? Wondering if it’s okay to put the tea tree oil on it
@@micheller2368 mine looked like a little fleshy or red doughnut around my ear. You could always add some water initially so the tea isn't as harsh? Good luck!
Quick question. When you say “don’t use it as a cleaning solution” can you do this method every time you wash it??? Or does it have a different effect if you’re constantly cleaning before tea tree oil?!
Is this something that helps with bumps on industrial piercings as well?
I've had my nose pierced since January and last month i was finally able to get it changed to a hoop, then my puppy licked my nose piercing and I've had a bump on it ever since. Tried warm sea salt soaks daily and that only minimized it a bit. Guess i shall try tea tree oil. fingers crossed.
hey! any updates? did the tea tree oil work for you?
Hi I just had a question for nose piercing how many times should you clean it with the wound wash and are bumps common for nose piercing and what to do for it if u recently just got it done
Better than tea tree oil is Manuka oil. It is in the tea tree family, but it has a much higher trikitone count than tea tree oil and is proven to actually destroy infections such as Staph and MRSA (tea tree doesn't). It is used extensively throughout New Zealand, Australia and other Eastern Hemisphere countries for first aid. They don't use it very much in the Western Hemisphere because it is so expensive. There are a few products in America for piercings that have Manuka Oil in them. Everything else this gentleman talks is spot on.
I've had my nape pierced for over a week now I've been cleaning with salt soaks but I had tea tree oil with the aftercare should I be using that after the salt soak or should I leave it out
I got my conch pierced about 4 months ago & it was healing perfectly, but then all of a sudden a bump appeared. I went to the piercing shop I got pierced at & they told me it was an irritation bump- that it would go away in about 2 weeks. A month passed & my bump was still there, so I decided to use tea tree oil. Like said in the video, my bump dried up & I peeled it off... but then it started bleeding 😕 my bump completely went away a few days later, but then one week later- a bigger bump appeared. Now I just don't know what to do🤦🏽♀️
Is it possible to switch out your jewelry? Also maybe hair products or pillow case or hat could be irritating it?
Hi, how is your bump healing now? may I ask how big was your bump and was it soft or firm? because I just had a bump yesterday and it is pretty big now, kind of like a pustule. I want to try to use tea tree oil. thank you!
old school advice ! awesme
glad you found it useful ! :)
This is helpful for sure
Today from my helix piercing & from my belly piercing pus was coming out. My ear is in way too much pain but my belly is not. So will this tea tree oil help?
This video was very helpful thank you !
I've had a tragus for about 2-3 months, can I use tea tree oil now?
I wish I watched this before hand. I got a piercing done just recently and my piercer told me after I use saline solution then dab a bit of tree tea oil on my piercing (I never heard it before (I have many piercings just cleaned it with just salt soak and saline solution and they looked amazing) so I ended up listening to my piercer and for the first time I have a bump on my piercing ( Philtrum) it’s small but it needs to go! I have never had this experience ever in my life! Now I’m scared to use tea tree oil.
Tea tree oil helped tremendously with the bump and redness after going to my hoop 🖤
What brand did you use?
So I got helix about 3 month ago, it’s not healed yet at it has a small bump at tge back. How can I make sure that the tea tree oil doesn’t goes inside of the piercing ¿
I’ve got a bump forming around my neck dermal, the dermal is between my two collar bones on my neck. It was rejecting a fair bit a while ago so after showers I would push it back in until it was in a lot more, it’s in about as far as it can go now and was going great, but I wanted to try and make it go all the way in so there was no bar showing, doing that I think has caused the bump, I don’t know if dermal get keloids or pressure bumps etc, but what should I do?
Wow I wish 11 year old me knew this my peircer at the time suggested tea tree oil
Okay I just got my industrial pierced a few weeks ago and I feel like I’m starting to see a keloid forming right by the hole of the piercing, would it be bad to use tea tree oil ? I don’t have to have keloids if I can stop it now
I have a conch piercing like a month ago and my boyfriend kinda hit me there a few times while sleeping by accident and it turned into a keloid on the back of the ear. I didn't understand what are you supposed to use instead of the qtips or cotton balls cuz I clean my piercing everyday with anti bacterial in the shower and afterwards I use a qtip to put a scar cream that I got on the pharmacy. I'm going to try and find the tea tree oil here in Portugal but I'm still confused about how to clean or apply things without qtips and cotton balls, should I apply with my finger? Thx for the videos
What do you think about sea salt/aspirin paste? (Putting it on the bump thickly before bed and washing off in the morning). I did this for my nose years ago and it worked pretty much over night.. (it was a large bump too) now I have two fairly large bumps on my rook piercing on both sides (entrance and exit) but have never heard of this tea tree oil method. Also, I am not sure if I could apply the tea tree oil on just the bump on the bottom without getting the tea tree oil inside the piercing. (I have small ears and would like to know what you suggest for people in my case). Thank you.
How’s your rook piercing now? What method did you use?
Then what to use when your helix piercing has the smallest little bump you can’t reach it with your finger to put tea tree oil there?? If you can’t use coton swabs?? My helix piercing keeps acting up (have it for 11 months now) so what to do?
Ok I got my nose pierced 2 days ago on Wednesday ...ok so i had an interview Thursdays and took it out..then I went to Wal-Mart cause I felt the ring wasnt going all the way through and bought some new rings. Took the first one out and added the new one...friday I felt like I was taking good care of it till I looked in a mirror and saw dried yellowish discharge. I cleaned it with the ocean spray thingy and in the car on my way home my hair SNATCHED the ring out and puss started to come out later. When I got home I washed my nose and tried to put a ring in and it was hard to go through and blood and puss squirted out..if I clean it and put the ring back in will the tea tree oil help heal the infection ????
Sea salt always worked best for the keloid on the nose. Tea trea exasperated it.
what do i do if i just got a new little bump on my nose piercing, do i put tea tree oil or just clean it with salt water
Oop I’ve been using it all wrong except a bump I had on the backs of my 2nd lobe idea why I got them they only appeared once I switched them out after 8 weeks
Is my ear suppose to be sore after a piercing in my lobe
Great info, thank you!
So I’ve had my conch piercing for like 2 months, and it’s developed a bump around it, should I use tree oil and just put it on there?
I rlly wanna get rid of the bump under my helix but i’m not sure if using tea tree oil could make that numb go away it’s been bugging me for awhile now
Is there a specific tea tree oil I should get?
I’m trying to close my piercing after 3.5 weeks. Will tea tree oil work if it’s closed? Should I try to put my ear ring in so I can use the tea tree oil?
If we are not supposed to use q-tips then what should we use?
What about an old keloids? Do you think a tea tree oil can help to get rid off?
So, if I don't have a keloid, I shouldn't be using tea tree oil?
So I have a bump inside of my nose and it pushed my nose ring out will it close? Can I insert it back in and use oil or just leave it out and use the oil?
Tea Tree Oil Is The Only Thing That Worked For My Piercing Bumps
I use tea tree oil for my swollen lobes after stretching to 16mm, is that ok or just stick to sea salt soaks?
I've been using wound wash for m nose ring because it's just water and salt in the ingredients...is that okay? When I make my own SS at home there's always little things in there like dust.
What about on a pustule on a belly button piercing I have had for over a year? I have seen a piercer. I'm doing sea salt soaks. Tea tree oil was supposed to be next. I just want this thing to pop
I’ve had my cartilage piercing for almost 7 months now and I keep getting bumps on and off regularly. I changed the jewelry a few days ago while the bump wasn’t there to see if that’ll help and so no bumps would come back. I had a stud in it at first btw.
Is it normal to get a bump right away because I changed the jewelry? Or is it because I bothered with it?
Really annoyed with these bumps on my piercing 😠 please help!
Is it still there ?
Is you bump sore like feels like puss
Hey I have a septum piercing and I have a bump in right side of my nose and not left side. I had my piercing about 2 weeks and I just saw the dump and I’m really scared
if i can’t apply the tea tree oil with a q-tip or cotton ball what can i use to apply it on my bump with?
Can you use this if you have septum piercing
just ordered some tea tree oil for my nipple piercings .
Ugh it took 1.5-2 years for mine to heal. It was the most annoying and I almost ripped it out like 4 times.
I still get crusties even though I clean it every day before bed and when I wake up, and it's really annoying. I originally got them because I wanted it to correct my flat nipples (which it did), but now its just a nuisance
True guide👍
My daith piercing is swollen but no keiloid. Do i use it or not?
Just bought it 🙏 hopefully this works. I have small bumps on my industrial piercing but hopefully after using the product it’ll work
Please tell me if your bump has healed have also developed a small bump have used salt paste, aspirin and they didn't work now want to try tea tree oil
Kemigisha Lucie the tea tree oil did work, however you have to be consistent with it and make sure to only put it on the bump. I noticed after I used it it definitely got smaller but then it kinda started to peel and got itchy after I used it so much so I stopped using it for a while and it just slowly went away. I’d say give it a try though it’s better than nothing
@@mariahleal6017 thank you, your response has given me some little hope, have ordered today
Kemigisha Lucie np bby lmk if it works for you:)
@@mariahleal6017 hey dear, am hear to confirm that finally am filling my bump disappearing though am getting a dry skin at the back of my ears😀😀

i want to get my ear lobe done again but it has a hypertrophoc scar on it, can i still pierce on it? pls help
What if the bump gets puss coming out of it in addition to dead skin? how long does it usually take? what about discoloration?
Does this go for cheek piercings as well?
