Suggest methods to drain out tea tree oil injected in the leg
Patient: My wife injected an infected area on my leg with  tea tree oil. Now my foot/ankle and leg is swollen. How can I get this tea tree oil out of my leg?   I elevate my foot at nighttime and it returns to the original size. During the day while walking around its swells up. .My foot itches. Will activated charcoal  bind to it and take it out of my leg and body or  am I stuck with this problem for the rest of my life? Is there something that I can take to counteract this tea tree oil? Doctor: HIWell come to HCMI really appreciate your concern, if the tea oil is injected in the system (Human system) so it can not be taken out but it may not be remains in the system for long time and soon will be anabolized, but of course the side effects of this would be matter of concern and that needed to be taken care, it may causes the tissue destruction, infection, abscess formation, and other  hope this information helps.
