It sounds like you may be experiencing a reaction to overuse of tea tree oil products. Stop using the tea tree oil shampoo immediately if you're experiencing scaling and irritation. These symptoms could indicate sensitivity or an allergic reaction to the product. For immediate relief, you should:
1. Discontinue use of the tea tree oil product
2. Contact your dermatologist or healthcare provider for guidance
3. Consider switching to a gentler medicated shampoo temporarily
4. In the future, when trying tea tree oil products again, do a patch test first and only use products with 5% concentration, leaving them on for just 3-10 minutes before rinsing. Remember that shampoos can become less effective over time as your skin adjusts. Your dermatologist might recommend rotating between different types of treatments to maintain effectiveness and prevent reactions like the one you're experiencing.
