Are there any home remedies that can be used to remove skin tags?
Although, there are some self-treatments that can be used to remove unwanted skin tags, I would caution patients to exercise care and good judgment when trying to decide if doing-it-yourself is the way to proceed. Some of the complications of home treatment are infection, scarring, pain, bleeding and local changes in skin colour. One of the more popular home remedies includes tying off the stalk of the skin tag with a piece of thread and allowing the tag to fall off over several days. It can work quite well when the skin tag is accessible but this method should not be attempted in difficult locations such as areas around the eye. One thing is certain; removing one skin tag does not make more skin tags grow. Skin tags are a nuisance and most people would rather not have them. Having a single skin tag is not too bad but the presence of even one skin tag can herald arrival of more in the future. If you are concerned with the way they look or feel, contact your physician or a dermatologist
