Does Tea Tree Oil Help In Reducing The Fungal Infection On Lower Side Of Leg?
I have a fungus on the lower side of my right leg----it was caused by a toe- nail scratch years ago---it spread very large& around the area turned a brownish, in the center it looks like it is infected inside, & scabby looking.It burns now as I have been using an antibonic cream poly- sporin on it.I like to know if there is anything I can use---before I used the poly sporin, it was dry looking and scaley.Someone said to use tea tree oil on it ?Do you think this will help?It looks badly scarred now. thank you.
