Use apple cider vinegar.
Soak a small piece of cotton in apple cider vinegar. Press the vinegar bottle gently to prevent it from dripping.
Put the cotton soaked in vinegar on the skin tag and cover it with a bandage.
Keep it turned on.
Keep the cotton ball on the skin tag for a maximum of 3 hours. Watch out for any redness or pain in the area. If you feel very irritated, stop using it right away.
Say it again.
Take out the cotton ball when the time is over. Wash the area with water.
Do this every day for a few days, up to a week. With time, the skin tag will get darker, dry out, and eventually drop off.
Post-treatment support:
After the skin tag falls off, make sure to keep the area clean and put on some antibiotic cream to avoid infection. Put a bandage on if needed.
Safety measures and things to think about:
Skin Sensitivity: Apple cider vinegar is very acidic and can irritate, burn, or cause allergic reactions on the skin. Before using a product on a skin tag, make sure to test it on a small area of your skin first.
This technique is suggested for small skin tags. Do not use apple cider vinegar on skin tags near your eyes or genitals.
Health Issues: If you have diabetes or any condition that affects the healing of your skin, it is important to talk to a doctor before trying to remove something at home.
See a skin doctor: If you have big or concerning skin tags, especially in delicate areas, it’s recommended to see a dermatologist for safe removal choices.
Other options:
Dermatologists can remove skin tags using safe methods like freezing, burning, or surgery.
Non-prescription Options: There are various products available without a prescription that are made for removing skin tags and could provide a gentler solution.
Although apple cider vinegar is a common and easy home remedy, it’s important to be aware of the possible dangers and consult a professional if necessary. This makes sure that things are removed well and reduces the chance of problems.
