Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil (TTO) is a natural remedy that can help remove skin tags. It breaks down the skin tag’s cells, causing them to detach from the skin’s surface. Some people use it independently, while others combine it with other treatments, such as freezing and cutting off the tags.
Studies have shown that tea tree oil can remove skin tags, but it can take a couple of months. Therefore, you may need multiple applications over this period to get rid of the tag completely.
Tea tree oil can be purchased at most health food stores, and there are several ways you can use it to remove your skin tags. First, you can apply the oil directly to your skin tag by mixing a drop or two of tea tree oil with a small amount of water in a spray bottle. The mixture should be thin enough to soak into the tag; too much of either ingredient is likely to cause irritation and pain. Then give the area a thorough spray and wrap it in plastic. You should see signs of improvement within 24 hours—whether that means the skin tag will fall off or simply shrink enough that it’s less noticeable.
