on eyelid, neck, arms, lower part of breast and armpit. Skin tags are caused by
bunches of collagen and blood vessels that get trapped inside thicker bits of
skin. There are some medical treatment but in many causes it will not cover
them.
Thankfully
there are a number of home remedies that you can try to get rid of your skin
tags.

Cut an onion, and leave it
overnight in a vessel containing some salt. Extract the juice from it, the next

Tea tree oil provides a
painless way to remove skin tags from your body. This oil has anti-fungal,
antibacterial and antiviral properties and it also works to dry out the skin
tag so that it falls off on its own. Soak a clean cotton ball in water and then

surrounding area with soap and water and then completely dry the area. Use the
cotton swab that has water and tea tree oil on it and gently massage the skin
tag and the surrounding
area three times a day. It is important to use the water because tea tree oil
should always be diluted or else you are at risk for skin irritation.
Lemon juice

dry out skin tags by decomposing the cells. Take a half of a fresh lemon and
apply the juice to a cotton ball. Apply this directly to the skin tag and leave
it on without washing it off. You can apply this up to three times a day and
continue the routine until the skin tag falls off

removal method. Mix baking soda and castor oil and form a thick paste. Apply
this paste on the skin tag and cover it. Leave it for a night. Wash it with
warm water, the next morning. Repeat this process for about 10 days until the
tag totally vanishes.
Garlic
Fresh garlic has anti-fungal
and antibacterial properties which help to improve skin health and dry out skin
tags. You need four fresh garlic cloves and then ground these up into a paste
and apply the paste directly to the skin. Place a bandage over this to keep the
paste in place.
Nail Polish
Nail polish is also a good way for removing skin
tags at home. Cover the skin tag with nail polish, and let it dry. Repeat it
for 2-3 times a day for a few days until the tag completely fades off from the
