Dianna GHome Remedies to Remove a Skin Tag

Example of skin tags found on the arm
Remove a skin tag by applying tea tree oil
The first home remedy is tea tree oil. And before you think that any oil from a tree is good, think again . You can only find this tree in 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 tag from inside out . The irony to this remedy is that it not only treats skin conditions but a host of other things and is a very powerful antiseptic.
Make a Paste with Castor Oil to remove your tag
Another once popular but now looked down upon home remedy for nearly everything including labor induction is castor oil. Skin tags happen to be one of them . Because it is an oil, you will need to add something like baking soda to help it form a paste. Castor oil is not pleasant though, smell wise, hence why it isn't very popular today .. You can combine an essential oil like mint to help lower the smell.
Can Apple Cider Vinegar Help to Remove a Skin Tag?
Another popular home remedy for skin tags is to use apple cider vinegar. The good news is that this remedy can be found literally in almost any grocery or health food store. The bigger 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 available they are, they all make perfect candidates for in the very least trying them than simply going to the doctor.
If you understand why they work, then you would understand the function behind them .... all three herbal remedies are essentially drying agents and dry the skin tag 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...
Use Duct Tape to remove a skin tag
One of the more unconventional ways to remove a skin tag is to use duct tape. The idea behind this rather unusual home remedy is that duct tape will irritate the skin, causing the skin tag to fall off.
Strangle a skin tag and it will fall off
A more popular way to remove a skin tag is to literally cut it off from its oxygen source. The premise behind this remedy is that the cells of the skin tag need oxygen to continue. Cut off the skin tags oxygen and watch within a few days as the skin tag starts to wither.
The quickest (and most painful) way to remove a skin tag
Painful as it may sound, this "remedy" is also the quickest . Cut the bugger off . The issue with this is that the skin tag could grow back in a few days to a month or so. Still, it doesn't get any quicker than this, in terms of effectiveness.
