Learn simple and effective home remedies to safely and naturally remove skin tags at home. These easy-to-follow solutions use everyday ingredients and are gentle on your skin.
Ingredients
- Apple Cider Vinegar (1–2 tablespoons)
- Tea Tree Oil (a few drops)
- Cotton Swabs or Cotton Balls
- Baking Soda (1 teaspoon)
- Castor Oil (1 teaspoon)
- Dental Floss or Thread (optional)
Instructions
Method 1: Apple Cider Vinegar
- Dip a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar.
- Apply it to the skin tag and secure it with a bandage.
- Leave it on for 6–8 hours, then rinse the area.
- Repeat daily until the skin tag falls off.
Method 2: Tea Tree Oil
- Clean the area around the skin tag with mild soap and water.
- Soak a cotton swab in tea tree oil.
- Apply it directly to the skin tag.
- Secure with a bandage and leave it on overnight.
- Repeat nightly until the skin tag shrinks and falls off.
Method 3: Baking Soda and Castor Oil Paste
- Mix equal parts baking soda and castor oil to form a thick paste.
- Apply the paste to the skin tag and cover it with a bandage.
- Leave it on for several hours or overnight.
- Wash off and reapply daily until the tag is gone.
Method 4: Tying Off (Optional)
- Use dental floss or thread to tightly tie the base of the skin tag.
- This cuts off blood flow, causing the tag to dry and fall off.
- Keep the area clean and monitor for any irritation.
Important Notes:
- Always consult a healthcare provider before trying home remedies, especially for larger skin tags or those in sensitive areas.
- Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
- Results may vary, and patience is key for natural remedies.
