You might be able to buy tea tree oil in the herbal/suppliment aisle at Wal-mart, but I have always bought it at health stores like GNC. I can tell you one thing though, it stinks and it hurts like he!! if you have an open wound.
Instead, you might want to try hydrogen peroxide and some type of zinc oxide ointment such as baby diaper rash ointment (desinex) to put on it and leave overnight. You have to get the white kind, either Desinex or Equate brand. Clean it several times a day w/ the peroxide and leave the (whatever) is in it (the jewelry) OUT and give it a few days to dry up and heal. Use the ointment several times a day after the peroxide dries and esp. overnight.
Hope it helps. It helped my pierced ears.

If you have a grocery store, pharmacy store, or any store that sells vitamins as compared to the U.S., you can get 100% Tea Tree oil in the Vitamin/Herbal supplement section. I just got mine in Target where they sell stuff like Vitamin E, A, B, C, etc and oils. I've only seen in liquid form and not pill form. Burt's Bees also has an acne product with Tea Tree oil in the cosmetics aisle.

Sounds like keloids to me. You're taking the backs off the earrings? Like you'd get your lobes pierced with? That's why you have these keloids....never ever ever get cartilige pierced with a gun or use those types of earrings. Using a gun crushes the tissue instead of removing it like a needles does.
Sorry, it's your own fault. lol! Tee tree oil won't do a thing. Try surgery, it's the only thing that will remove keloids.

You can buy tea tree oil at a drug store, beauty supply store,
health food store or even Wal-Mart. This product is good for a lot of skin problems A foot doctor told me to use it for nail fungus. Good luck with your pierceings.

Healthfood stores sell stuff like that. Speak to your piercing studio, maybe thay have something off the shelf that they could sell / recommend to you.
