Skin tags and warts are harmless but can be annoying, especially when they appear on visible areas like the face, neck, or hands. While doctors can remove them with minor procedures, you don’t always need expensive treatments—some natural remedies may help shrink or remove them safely at home.
What Are Skin Tags and Warts?
- Skin Tags: Small, soft growths of skin often found around the neck, armpits, eyelids, or under the breasts. They are painless and usually caused by friction or hormonal changes.
- Warts: Small, rough bumps on the skin caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They are contagious and can spread if not treated.
Natural Home Remedies
1. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
- Soak a cotton ball in ACV and apply to the skin tag or wart.
- Cover with a bandage and leave overnight.
- Repeat daily until it shrinks and falls off.
Why it works: The acidity of ACV helps break down abnormal skin tissue and kills wart-causing viruses.
