Skin tags are common growths that can appear anywhere on the body and although they are usually harmless, they can be quite bothersome or unsightly, especially as we get older. The good news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune on expensive treatments to remove them. In fact, you can use simple, natural ingredients like banana peel and apple cider vinegar to get rid of them fast and effectively. Here’s how:
Why Use Banana Peel and Apple Cider Vinegar?
Natural and Safe: Both banana peel and apple cider vinegar are natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin and free from harsh chemicals.
Effective: Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which helps break down the tissue of the skin tag, causing it to fall off. The banana peel helps soothe and protect the surrounding skin.
Easy to Use: This method is straightforward and can be done at home with items you likely already have in your kitchen.
What You’ll Need
1 banana peel
Apple cider vinegar
Cotton balls
Adhesive bandage or medical tape
Instructions
Prepare the Banana Peel:
Take a fresh banana peel and cut a small piece that is large enough to cover the skin tag.
Soak the Cotton Ball:
Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar until it is saturated.
Apply the Cotton Ball:
Place the soaked cotton ball directly on the skin tag. Be careful to avoid getting apple cider vinegar on the surrounding skin, as it can be irritating.
Cover with Banana Peel:
Place the piece of banana peel, with the inner side facing down, over the cotton ball and skin tag.
Secure in Place:
Use an adhesive bandage or medical tape to secure the banana peel and cotton ball in place. This ensures the treatment stays on the skin tag overnight.
