Removing skin tags on the face naturally at home can be done carefully, but you should always be cautious because the face is sensitive. Here are some natural methods people commonly try:
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar.
Apply it directly to the skin tag and hold it in place with a bandage.
Leave it on for 15-30 minutes, then rinse with water.
Repeat daily for about a week until the skin tag darkens and falls off.
2. Tea Tree Oil
- Apply a drop of tea tree oil to the skin tag using a cotton swab.
- Cover it with a bandage.
- Repeat twice daily until the skin tag shrinks and disappears.
- Be careful not to get tea tree oil on healthy skin because it may cause irritation.
3. Garlic
- Crush a clove of garlic to make a paste.
- Apply it to the skin tag and cover with a bandage.
- Leave it on overnight and wash off in the morning.
- Repeat nightly until the skin tag falls off.
4. Banana Peel
- Cut a small piece of banana peel and place the inner side on the skin tag.
- Secure it with a bandage and leave overnight.
- Repeat daily until the skin tag disappears.
5. Vitamin E Oil
- Apply vitamin E oil to the skin tag.
- Cover with a bandage and leave it on overnight.
- Repeat daily; vitamin E can help dry the skin tag.
Important Tips:
- Always do a patch test first to make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction.
- Avoid pulling or cutting the skin tag yourself to prevent infection.
- If the skin tag changes color, bleeds, or grows rapidly, consult a doctor.
- Natural remedies can take several days to weeks to work.
