Best Answer

Tea tree oil contains terpinen-4-ol. It is thought to kill Propion bacterium acne, the skin-dwelling bacteria that is involved in killing acne. It can burn and/or blister skin in full strength. The only study done on this used a 5% solution of the oil. Have a look at the Skin Care aisle in the health food store. Kiss My Face is a brand name that has a good product which contains tea tree oil and witch hazle in diluted amounts.

Depends on the type of spot treatment you have, but all the external spot treatments are applied directly to the affected area on the skin. So if you have a blemish on your chin just apply the treatment directly on your chin.
