I started using Tea Tree oil with
Aldara, on opposite days, and the
warts started to disappear. I don't
know if it was the oil or if the
Aldara was just kicking in. I stopped
using Aldara and kept up the oil and I
haven't gotten many new ones but some
of the old ones haven't gone yet. I
put it all over the surrounding area
of the warts. Gonna get back on Aldara
too.

I think the basic mechanism behind tea
tree oil is that it is VERY drying and
warts don't like that-I doubt the oil
works all by itself. If its worked
for anyone-let us all know!

Where do you buy tea tree oil - grocery
store, health store, drug store??

I use Aldara ON any visible warts and
the tea tree oil on the surrounding
area. It does dry the skin out but I
find using a light moisturiser such as
Sorbelene or Vitamin E cream can help,
just a small amount. It does seem to
be working for me, no more outbreaks
thus far! :D You can buy it at any
chemist, supermarket or health food
shop and its really cheap. Best of
luck!

I tried t tree oil, found it didnt
clear the warts, but that they didnt
grow either during the time I used it.
(for around two weeks, undilted, twice
a day)

people that use tea trea also use
aldara so go figure when they tell you
they get results. It dries.

Craig's right-tea tree oil
testimonials are hardly based on sound
scientifically done experiments (no
control group)-use it to treat scar
tissue, ease aldera, keep
things "dried out" but don't put faith
in this or (god forbid) homeopathic
remedies.

I got mine at Bath and Body works. I
put a squirt on at night before I go to
bed on the days that I dont use
aldara. It helps soothe the skin. I
dont think it helped mine go away
before I started aldara, but it has for
some people. it smells strong, but I
would recommend it. If not to make
them go away, to deal with other
treatment side effects.
