How it works: Garlic’s enzymes break down the tag tissue.

Method:

  • Crush fresh garlic and apply directly to the tag.

  • Cover with a bandage.

  • Leave on for 1 hour, then wash off.

  • Repeat daily until it detaches.

5. Banana Peel

How it works: The antioxidants and enzymes in banana peel work to dry skin tags.

Method:

  • Cut a small piece of banana peel.

  • Place the inside part directly on the tag.

  • Tape or bandage and leave overnight.

  • Repeat nightly until the tag falls off.

6. Vitamin E Oil

How it works: Vitamin E is an antioxidant that rejuvenates skin and helps the tag dry out.

Method:

  • Apply a drop of vitamin E oil on the tag and massage gently.

  • Cover with a bandage, leave on overnight.

  • Repeat daily.

Tips For Safe Home Removal

  • Always wash hands and area before and after treatment.

  • Never forcefully scratch, twist, pull, or cut a skin tag.

  • If you see redness, swelling, pain, or bleeding, stop treatment and consult a doctor.

  • Avoid application near the eyes or sensitive areas.

  • For facial tags, use the gentlest remedies (Vitamin E or apple cider vinegar, but not garlic).
