Suggest Treatment For Numbness On The Lip After Applying Tea Tree Oil
Hi I m Christy, I used some tea tree oil on my lips cause I got a cold sore. After using it I noticed that my lips were somewhat numb. I looked on the bright side, at least the cold sore isn t hurting anymore......but this is the first time my lips have gone numb using my tea tree oil...... it s also the first time I ve used it on my lips. I have used it on my face for weeks without any problems. I haven t switched brands. Why would my lips go numb?
