Tea Tree Direct to Wound

Yes and no.
Some people can have an allergic reaction to Tea Tree Oil. You should spot test first. It is an aggressive antibacterial, antibiotic, antifungal oil and will sting when applied.
It would hurt less for the more sensitive to dilute the oil. However, I find that after regular use (good for yeast infections, acne, athletes foot, minor cuts and scrapes) one gets more acclimated.
