Hi IMBBians,
We all are particularly skin conscious. We hate any blemish, wrinkle or imperfection on our skin. But, skin problems are galore, and today I will be talking about one such common skin issue. Skin tags are small bumps or protrusions on skin commonly found on face, neck, arms and breasts. They are mostly harmless but can be annoying, especially if you have a sizeable number on face. For aesthetic reasons, people want to remove their skin tags. If you don’t want to get a cosmetic procedure at the dermatologist, you can try these gentle, safe and effective home remedies to remove skin tags from face.
1. Vitamin E
A major reason for skin tags is ageing. This can be taken care of by applying Vitamin E oil. Gently massage Vitamin E oil on the skin tag and surrounding areas. With regular application, you can find your tag vanishing in no time.
2. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is a potent agent to cure those unwanted fleshy outgrowths. Soak a Q-tip in tea tree oil and hold against the skin tag for a few minutes. Do this 2-3 times every day. If your skin is very sensitive, you can mix it with a carrier oil to prevent irritation due to undiluted oil. By doing this, you will cure your skin tags in just a few weeks without any cosmetic intervention.
3. Banana peel
Whether or not you love eating bananas, the benefits are incredible. Not just for supple skin and shiny hair, you can remove skin tags using the modest banana peel. Cut a piece of banana peel, apply it directly over the skin tag(s) and secure with a gauze or bandage. This nightly regimen will enable the tag to fall off soon.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar
Wash and dry the area around the tag and apply some apple cider vinegar using a cotton ball. Hold it for around 10-15 minutes and wash off. Repeat the process 2-3 times a day till the tag dries and falls off. Avoid using ACV around the delicate eye area.
5. Garlic
This wonder herb is antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory. The freshly crushed garlic juice can work wonders in diminishing your skin tags from face. Apply it during night time, cover with a bandage and wash off in the morning. In just a few weeks, the tag will shrink and vanish.
6. Oregano Oil
Topical application of oregano oil helps to remove skin tags completely. Mix a couple of drops of this oil with coconut or almond oil, apply on skin tag and allow it to dry. Wash off and repeat twice every day. With persistent efforts, you will have smooth skin without any skin tag.
7. Nail Polish
As absurd as it sounds, nail polish can help you banish those skin tags for good. Apply a coat of clear nail polish on your tag and let it dry. Repeat it with a fresh coat in the evening. Nail polish apparently cuts off air supply causing the tag to dry up and fall. Do not try this on very sensitive areas like eyelids and around lips. Try this for a maximum of a fortnight, and if it doesn’t work visit a dermatologist.
8. Liquid Iodine
This might be slightly risky, but saves you the cost and hassle of getting skin tags removed clinically. Topical application of iodine can eliminate skin tags completely. However, the area around the tag should be protected with coconut oil to prevent iodine from seeping in.
These home remedies can work wonders, but definitely do a patch test to find whether the ingredients suit you. If you feel any persisting irritation or notice any color change, visit a doctor.
