About tea tree oil and piercing bumps?
How often would I have to apply tea tree oil in order for it to take the full effects of reducing bumps from a new piercing?

What you have is a keloid which is basically scar tissue...
I would start with once a day and if you don't see results, work your way up to three times a day. Just make sure you apply the oil only to the keloid and not surrounding hole an that the tea tree oil contains no alcohol.
Good luck!

What sort of bump? It is the same colour as your skin or a white bump? I used to use tea tree oil on my piercing a long time ago, nothing bad happened to it but it didn't really help. Buy piercing cleaners, if you live in America I hear H2Ocean is good

About 3 to 5 days but mix the tea tree with like a baby oil, because it can also irritate the skin
