You can definitely make use of two types of oil if you want to remove skin tags by yourself. Together, we will identify what those oils are, exactly, and what are the specific uses or applications where you can have the oils removed or used by the patients.

Home remedies for skin tag removal can make use of the first type of useful oil in the process, and that is tea tree oil. You can easily find them in natural remedy specialty stores, but they are also often held for sale by general merchandise stores. The process of removing skin tags with the help of tea tree oil is not at all complex. Naturally, you would start by cleaning the skin tag and the skin area where it is located.

Cleaning can be accomplished with just soap and water. Of course, you should make sure the area is also thoroughly dry after it has been cleaned and before you do anything else.

Apply tea tree oil on the skin tag and its surrounding area when you are sure they are completely dry. A wet cotton ball or a swab of cotton that was lightly dipped in water can be used to apply the oil. Just put around two to three drops of tea tree oil on the cotton itself. The ideal frequency of applying this treatment on the skin tags would be three times in a day. In a couple of days or so, the skin tags should have disappeared: if indeed they were skin tags. Now let us proceed to the second type of oil that has proven to be beneficial in skin tag removal from home: the castor oil. To enhance its skin tag removal properties, it would be better to mix it with baking soda or sodium carbonate and then applying the mixture directly on the skin tag a number of times during the day.

You can also make use of other products when you are attempting to remove skin tags yourself. Fingernail polish is another substance that can be helpful in skin tag removal. You can also turn to vitamin E formulations and duct tape (yes, duct tape). But there are certain things you have to make sure of before undertaking any of these skin tag removal treatments, and that includes making sure the growths are not at all malignant.

Take note of their colors and how fast they develop or grow to have a clue about this. If the skin tags are actually signs of underlying malignant processes, and you attempt removing them at home, you can end up in considerable trouble. But so long as you are reasonably certain that you are dealing with ordinary skin tags, the oils we have looked at (alongside other skin tag removal aids) can be very helpful to you. You certainly don't need to have a doctor remove a skin tag on your body, so long as it is an ordinary skin tag, and not a manifestation of some sort of an underlying malignant (cancerous) process.
