There are several skin tag remedies that can be used to get rid of this skin condition.

Disinfected nail clippers can be used to cut these tags off. You simply apply rubbing alcohol; to the tag and clipper and clip the tag off. To stop the bleeding, please apply some peroxide as you clip.

 

Another of the skin tag remedies is baking soda and castor oil. These two are mixed together to create the remedy. Just mix the two until you create a paste. You can mix the two in the ratio 1:1. This paste is then applied to the tags at least thrice a day until the time the tags dry u and fall off by themselves.

 

Duct tape is another of the skin tag remedies. You simply cut off a piece of duct tape and cover the tag with the tape. After sometime, the tape will start loosening and this can be an indication that the tag is starting to fall off.

 

Another of the skin tag remedies is vitamin E which can be put on a band aid applied on the skin. When the band aid loosens up, you can remove it to see if the tag has begun to fall off. If that is not the case, please repeat the procedure.

 

It will require some patience from you as home skin tag remedies do not work as fast as most people expect but one thing is for sure, they work effectively and are inexpensive. Before you settle on any of the skin tag remedies, please consult with your physician.
