Home Remedies For Skin Tags

Skin Tags [acrochordon, cutaneous papilloma] are small flesh-coloured or brown growths that appears on the skin all over the body, but it is mostly prominent in areas such as the axillae [armpit, around the groin, upperchest and neck. Skn tags are very common and generally occur after midlife. They are said to be caused by bunches of collagen and blood vessels which are trapped inside thicker bits of skin.

Below are some home remedies for skin tags.

Castor Oil and Baking Soda

1. Mix baking soda and castor oil . The amount of each ingredient is not precise, the baking soda should grind into the castor oil to form a paste.

2. Rub this mixture on your skin tags 3 time per day, this can help the excess skin detaches from the skin. Cover it with a small bandage. This will protect the mixture from being wiped away.

3. Continue this process until it is completely gone.

Fingernail Polish

       1,   Wash the skin tag with a mild soap and warm water. Pat dry the clean area with a towel.

       2.    Apply a good coat of nail polish on your skin tag alone.

       3.    Do this process twice a day until it is completely gone.

Tag Tying

1. Clean the area with soap and water, apply rubbing alcohol to the tag and sorrounding skin. This is to prevent any infection.

2. Use thread or dental floss, tie it around by twisting the thread around the tag and do not tie a knot for easy removal. Put a bandage over the tag so that it does not get bumped and irritated.

3. Be sure to check  and re-apply alcohol  to the area every day to prevent it from getting infected.
