Gently protruding from folds in the skin, skin tags are generally harmless but can be bothersome. Despite their benign nature, many people prefer to remove them due to aesthetic reasons or because they catch on clothing or jewelry. Here are nine effective home remedies to help you manage skin tags on your own:
1.Tea Tree Oil: This natural remedy has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Apply a few drops of tea tree oil on a clean cotton ball, place it on the skin tag, and leave it overnight. Repeat nightly until the tag falls off.
2.Apple Cider Vinegar: Soak a cotton swab in apple cider vinegar, apply it to the skin tag, and secure it with a bandage. Over a few weeks of daily application, the tag may darken, dry out, and eventually fall off.
3.Garlic: Crush garlic cloves to create a paste, apply it to the skin tag, and cover with a bandage overnight. Rinse off in the morning. Repeat until the tag disappears.
4.Banana Peel: Place a piece of banana peel over the skin tag before bed, securing it with a bandage. Continue nightly until the tag drops off; enzymes in the peel aid in breakdown.
5.Vitamin E Oil: Apply vitamin E oil to the skin tag and cover with a small bandage. Change daily until the tag begins to loosen.
6.Duct Tape:
