3 Methods to Removing a Skin Tag

February 19th, 2011 by Angela

If you have a skin tag, the good news is that it is most likely not cancerous.  And while it might be annoying to look at, there are ways to remove them .  .   There is some bad news though, especially if you don’t have health insurance or have insurance with a high deductible.   Removing one skin attach is one thing  .  If you have several skin tags that you are hoping to take care of at once, you best bet would still be to have them professionally removed . If you don’t want to go to a physician to have them removed, there are other options available. And the good news is that it won’t cost you an arm and a leg AND you can find them accessible at your local grocery.  .   Once you “do the deed” and use these remedies, your pocket book will thank you  .    There are several “natural” remedies to removing a skin tag  .  And in this article, I will give several natural remedies to removing a skin tag.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil is an essential oil used for decades by the aboriginal population of Australia . What makes tea tree oil such a powerful essential oil in treating skin conditions is that it penetrates the skin cells and literally dries up the skin attach from inside out  .  The best part of tea tree oil is that it not only treat skin tags but other skin conditions like warts and rosacea as well. .

Make a Paste with Castor Oil to remove your attach

Another once favourite but now looked down upon home cure for nearly everything including labor induction is castor oil.  Skin tags happen to be one of them  .  The one downside is that it has a very pungent smell, and you need to make a paste with baking soda .  To help with smell, you can add an essential oil, like mint.

Can Apple Cider Vinegar Help to Remove a Skin Tag?

Another favourite home cure for skin tags is to use apple cider vinegar .  The good news is that this cure can be found literally in nearly any grocery or health food store .   The larger question is will apple cider vinegar help remove a skin tag?   The answer is yes, just like castor oil and tea tree oil. .   And just like the two, because of how cheap and readily accessible they are, they all make perfect candidates for in the very least trying them than simply going to the physician .  

The key to understanding what works is that all of the above skin attach removal options do essentially the same thing …. all three herbal remedies are essentially drying agents and dry the skin attach up .

Other effective methods to removing a skin tag…

Note that this is not a good solution if you are trying to remove multiple skin tags…

Duct tape and skin tags

While most will use duct tape to hold something together, you can use duct to remove a skin attach or even a wart  .   Using duct tape works because it irritates the skin so much that the attach will literally turn black and die.

Kill a skin attach by cutting off the oxygen 

Another common way to remove skin tags is to take a piece of string and tying the skin attach tightly at the base . Skin cells need oxygen to live and if the skin attach doesn’t get a constant supply of blood it will die  .   Cut off the skin tags oxygen and watch within a few days as the skin attach starts to wither .

The Quickest way- Cut it off

The final cure is probably the quickest albeit the most painful .   You simply take a pair of scissors and cut it off at the base .  The issue with this is that the skin attach could grow back in a few days to a month or so.   In terms of quickness though, cutting a skin attach off is just as swift as a doctor’s visit  .
