Most commercial tea tree creams are in a 5% impregnation within the medium of choice, usually a cream, lotion, glycerin, base oil or saponin for shampoos. While this is a safe concentration for use on the skin, chronic infections may require a higher strength tea tree application, especially in chronic fungal infections and dandruff.
Hives (urticaria) is a skin condition known for its characteristic itchy red raised rash that occur as bumps or patches intermittently. Sometimes called welts, wheals or swellings, the rash has a tendency to appear and disappear with very slight trace of having existed after a few hours since they are a superficial (surface) reaction. Hives may be accompanied by angioedema, a deeper lying rash or swelling, affecting the eyes and lips.
A fungus under the breast is more common than reported and is prevalent in women with large busts who live in hot and humid (tropical) climates. The fungal infection arises due to a combination of factors and is referred to as submammary candidiasis. These infections are often caused by yeast-like fungi (candida) or mold-like fungi (dermatophytes or skin fungus referred to as tinea infections), although a breast fungus is usually a result of a candida infection.
In most itchy skin conditions or acute rashes, an anti-histamine or corticosteroid is prescribed for oral use. Anti-histamines can cause drowsiness which may not be practical during working hours and prolonged use of oral corticosteroids can have a host of side effects. Both are contraindicated in pregnant women although they may be used in severe cases.
This formula may also be effective in treating other allergic conditions including hay fever or post nasal drip depending on the severity of your allergy.
