subject: Things Everyone Should Know About Removing Skin Tags At Home [print this page] If some people are to be believed, skin tags may be cancerous. But skin tags, in general, are not at all cancerous. In some rare cases, though, time would render these skin tags malignant. That's why there is a need to be extra careful when assessing your skin tags. Non-malignant skin tags can be ignored and left as they are.
But if you still want to get rid of them, purely for cosmetic reasons, then you are free to do so. There are a lot of easy home remedies that you can try out. You can try using the extracts of some herbs. Examples are Thuja occidentalis or Riccinus communis. Skin tags are known to succumb and vanish in the face of pastes that are made from the combination of various herbs.
Compared to drugs with single components, combination drugs prove to be more potent. The positive effects of the different components mixed together will accumulate, increasing the potency of the drug. This principle also applies to the use of various herbs in one application. Their cumulative effects will also work to your advantage. What will be discussed next is the use of dental floss, vitamin E, or nail polish in eliminating skin tags. Perhaps you've been wondering about the relationship between dental floss and skin tags.
Try asking around and you will find that not a lot of people are aware about what castor oil can do for them. It can be used even in the treatment of skin tags in different region of the body. It doesn't cost a lot, and you can easily get access to it anywhere, too. You don't even have to worry about experiencing any side effects because castor oil doesn't have any. No wonder it comes highly recommended and had been used for a long time in skin tag removal. It is also a known fact that you can use nail polish to remove your unwanted skin tags. Swab the skin tag with a cotton ball with nail polish, or just take your polish and apply it directly on the skin tags. In both cases, the effect will be similar. The advantage of using cotton would be the even distribution of the nail polish. Doing so would give you results in a shorter amount of time. It can be applied for around 3 days. This works by dehydrating the skin tag until such time that they fall off of their own volition.
Dental floss is also being used by a number of people in removing skin tags. The skin tag remedies using thin strings are so popular and there are no side effects. Besides, surgical procedures do not come cheap. This option is quite painful, though, but you don't have to wait a long time to see the desired results. You may also choose to use duct tape for skin tag removal. Just tape it directly over the skin tags. This tape can be left for half an hour to one hour. Soon enough, you can easily separate the dried out skin tags from the external dermal layers and even the roots. This will be followed by the skin tags eventually falling off the skin. Don't worry, this procedure won't be painful at all. If you compare these to the methods employed by doctors in clinics, the latter are far more abrasive and painful. In fact you can even safely make use of nail clippers and even scissors for this purpose.
