Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a common household item with several uses. It is used to flavor food and drink. However, you can also use ACV for skin care.
Apple cider vinegar has antibacterial properties that help heal infections and kill bacteria in the skin tag. It also contains acetic acid, which helps dissolve skin cells and aids in killing bacteria. The acidity of the vinegar can also dry up excess oil, which helps prevent further skin tag formation.
A study published in the American Journal of Dermatopathology found that ACV can significantly decrease the size of skin tags. The study involved 77 patients with skin tags who were treated with apple cider vinegar for two weeks. At the end of treatment, 50 percent of participants reported significantly improving their condition, and 25 percent had complete resolution.
Using this product for skin tag treatment is a simple process. First, clean the affected area with soap and warm water. Next, pat dry with a towel or let air dry for about ten minutes. Then, soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and apply it to the skin tag using gentle pressure.
