Home Remedies to remove Skin Tags

Skin tags are benign and harmless skin growth which can occur on any part of the body; however the common parts include the eyelids, neck, underarms, under breasts and groin folds. Besides cosmetic reasons skin tags do not cause any bothers, they are completely harmless and benign and don't turn cancerous when left untreated.  Skin tags can be easily treated, try the following tips:

  • If the tag is small and not causing pain then tie it with a piece of thread or dental floss for several days and allow it to fall on its own.


    You can also cut off the skin tag with the help of a sharp sterilized scissors, but this is many times accompanied by minor bleeding or infection. So if your skin tag is big enough then it would be better to take help of a health care specialist who would perform a similar procedure under local anesthesia. This would also rule out any possibility of infections.



  • Other methods are also available like freezing or burning the skin tag, but a possible disadvantage with this method if discoloration of skin in that particular area and if the skin tag fails to fall then there would be a need to repeat the treatment.
