How to get rid of skin tags
Do you know that you do not need to undergo surgery to get rid of these skin tags.
Here are some home remedies.
Skin tags are caused by the buildup of blood vessels and collagen in the thicker parts of the skin. Scientifically, skin tags are called achrochordon.
These fleshy growths are very small and appear deformed. They usually occur on the eyelids, neck, arms, lower chest, and armpits. Skin tags can appear in both men and women. Instead of rushing to the doctor, skin tags can be easily removed at home by trying a few simple home remedies.
Apple cider vinegar
This is one of the best home remedies for skin tags on the neck. Dip a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and apply it to the skin tag. Use this remedy for about a month for complete removal of the skin tag.
Castor oil
Mix some castor oil with baking powder to form a paste. It can be very sticky. Keep repeating the process for two to four weeks and you will notice the skin tag slowly disappearing.
Tea tree oil
Tea tree oil is one of the best natural methods for removing skin tags at home. Dip a cotton ball in water, then put at least 2-3 drops of tea tree oil into it. Now rub it lightly on the skin tag in circular motions. Repeat this daily at least twice a day for about a week until the skin tag disappears completely.
Nail polish
Nail polish is also a good way to remove skin tags at home. Apply nail polish to the area. Let it set and dry, then remove it. Repeat the process 3 times a day for a few days until you see visible results.
Pineapple juice
This is one of the easiest ways to remove skin tags. Apply pineapple juice every day at least 2-3 times, but do not rinse it off. Repeat this for at least 10 days, until the skin tag is completely scraped off. Pineapple juice is also known to work on moles and warts.
Adhesive tape
Stick a piece of tape over the skin tag for a continuous period of 10 to 12 days until the skin tag is completely removed. This is an effective home remedy to get rid of skin tags.
Onion juice
Cut an onion and leave it overnight in a container with salt. Extract the juice from it the next morning. Apply this juice every evening on the skin tag for at least 10 to 12 days. This will remove the tag completely.
Banana peel
A banana peel also seems effective in removing the skin tag. Cut a small piece of banana peel and place the inside part of it on the skin tag. Cover it tightly with gauze and leave it overnight. Repeat this remedy every day until the skin tags fall off.
