Skin tags not only mar the perfection of smooth, flawless skin they can also lead to discomfort and itching, especially if they appear around the waist area where the elastic band of your underwear or the belt of your jeans can rub against it and cause itching. It is worse when the skin tags appear on sensitive areas such as the eyelids or corner of the eye, or the genital area where it can cause extreme discomfort. It is thus only natural to want to get rid of these them in the most effective manner possible.

Many people tend to use nail clippers to clip of the skin tags but this is not advisable since it can lead to other problems. For instance, if the nail clipper is not properly sterilized it can lead to infections, or if the skin tag is not properly clipped it can lead to bleeding and even scar the skin permanently. It is thus advised to avoid clipping the skin tags and resort to one of the following home remedies to get rid of the offensive skin tags.

One of the best home remedies for removal of skin tags is applying some grated potato on the tag and covering it with a bandage for 5 to 7 days. The potato decomposes, making the skin tag disintegrate and fall off. Alternately you can dissolve a tablet of aspirin and apply the resulting paste on the skin tag, covering it with a band-aid. You can repeat this process twice a day till the skin tag disappears. You can also apply a mixture of baking soda and castor oil on the skin tag and leave it overnight, covering it with a band-aid. Similarly on you can apply some Vitamin E oil, beneficial for improving the texture of the skin, on the skin tag and cover it in garlic paste and then bandage the area. This will make the skin tag disappear without leaving any scars. You can also rub some raw crushed or mashed garlic on the skin tag 3 to 4 times a day. This will gradually disintegrate the skin tag over a period of a few weeks. Rubbing the juice of an onion obtained by chopping onions and leaving them overnight with some salt to extract the juice, is also excellent for getting rid of skin tags. The juice of cauliflower applied to the skin tag is also said to be beneficial for getting rid of them. When applying such juices on the skin tag, you should always rub the tag in a circular motion for best results.
