no. i would not advise that at all. tea
tree is powerful stuff, people use it for
spots on the face but i wouldnt put it
near your genital area because it would be
too strong. i think it would be more
likely to cause irritation rather than
soothe it. what is causing your irritation
anyway? shave rash?

I used to get vaginal sores due to
hormones and all I did was put a hot wash
cloth on it and it would soothe it. I
don't get them like that anymore thank
God! Sorry...hope that helps!

No! Isn't that considered an antibiotic?
That would irritate and cause a yeast
infection. Don't do it.

i don't have an infection..although
occasionally i do get little bumps which
happen if i'm having sex for a long time.
i guess from the rubbing & friction? i
asked my doctor she said it's nothing to
be alarmed about. i was just curious
because alot of women swear by it which to
me seems crazy because tea tree oil
burns!!

Yeah, I'd use something like plain lotion
(like unscented lubriderm) or hydrating
oil (like the kind you put in your bath)
as long as it's not scented or anything
weird.
But I think tea tree oil is a harsh
antiseptic, so I wouldn't use it anywhere
sensitive. I have heard you can use it on
your skin, though, but I never have. Your
genitals are more sensitive than the rest
of your skin.
