I could go over the
typical remove a skin with duct tape or fingernail polish and they do work but
can be painful. Instead, in this article I am going to focus on herbal remedies to treat skin tags. The upside to herbal remedies is that
they are less invasive than other "fast" remedies. The downside is
that they take a little more time and consistency in order for them to work....
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil works very well for removing skin tags as well
as moles. In fact, tea tree oil is used on various skin disorders. To use this
all you need is a little tea tree oil and a cotton ball. Soak the cotton ball
in the oil and apply it directly to the affected area. Do this once or twice
daily for up to 4 weeks or until the skin tag vanishes.
Castor Oil
Most of you are too young to remember castor oil but this oil
was used on a wide variety of common ailments and can be taken both internally
and externally. The good news is that you will be using castor oil as an
external ointment (I still shudder whenever I think of drinking that stuff).
Here is what you will do. Take a little baking soda and mix it with the castor
oil to create a paste. I suggest you add some citrus oil as it will stink to
high heaven. Apply it to the affected area and cover with a band-aid. The
typical time it will take is 2-4 weeks before the skin tag vanishes.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar works very well for removing skin tags
and the good news is that you can buy it in a grocery store for fairly cheap.
Just like tea tree oil, you simply dab some of it on a q-tip or cotton ball and
apply it directly to the skin tag. Unlike the tea tree oil, Apple Cider vinegar
may cause a stinging sensation for a couple minutes after being applied.
Typical time until the skin tag vanishes?..2-4 weeks.
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe Vera is
good for any skin condition. Massage it onto your skin daily. Apply the aloe vera
juice directly on the skin tag. Because of its ability to health any kind of
skin disorders so it is used as a main in gradient in many skin care products
Lemon
Juice
Lemon juice
contains citric acid, which helps you in decomposing off the cells in the skin
tags. Dab some lemon juice onto a cotton ball and apply it directly on the skin
tag. Leave it on the affected area till it dries. You will notice some changes
in the skin tags after a applying it for few days and in due course the skin
tag will dry out and vanish.
Banana
Peel
Banana peel is
a good remedy for skin tags. To use it cut the banana peel into small pieces.
Put the peel on the affected area and hold it securely with a bandage. Take
care that the inside of the peel comes in contact with the affected skin area.
Let it rest overnight and repeat this process daily until the skin tag falls
off.
Dental
Floss
Another method
to get rid of skin tags. It can be used on any body part. In order to use this
dental floss, tie a knot tightly around the base of the skin tag close to your
body. After a period of 2 – 3 weeks the skin tags will become smaller and will
disappear in due course. This helps in killing the skin tag by blocking blood
flow temporarily to the affected area.
Garlic
Apply some crushed garlic juice onto the affected area and cover it with a band. Take care that you change the band and the garlic juice at least thrice a day.
Those are just herbal treatments that you can use
to remove skin tags. If you don't mind waiting a couple weeks and can
discipline yourself to treating the skin tag at least once a day, then these
will naturally treat your skin tags from your home.
