Skin tags are benign, harmless growths that commonly develop on the neck, underarms, eyelids, or other parts of the body. Although they pose no health risks, many individuals choose to remove them for aesthetic reasons. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is often regarded as an effective and natural solution for pain-free skin tag removal without the need for costly treatments.
✅ Acidic Properties – The acetic acid in ACV breaks down the tissue of the skin tag, causing it to dry up and fall off.
✅ Antibacterial & Antifungal – Prevents infection and keeps the area clean.
✅ Safe & Natural – No harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.
What You Need:
✔ Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (with “the mother”) 🍏
✔ Cotton ball or cotton pad
✔ Medical tape or bandage
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Clean the area around the skin tag with warm water and mild soap.
2️⃣ Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar.
3️⃣ Place the soaked cotton ball directly on the skin tag.
4️⃣ Secure it with medical tape or a bandage.
5️⃣ Leave it on for 15–30 minutes, then remove and rinse.
6️⃣ Repeat this twice a day until the skin tag dries up and falls off (usually within 7–10 days).
The skin tag may darken, shrink, and scab before falling off.
Some mild tingling or stinging is normal due to the acidity.
If irritation occurs, dilute ACV with water before applying.
✔ Do not pull or cut the skin tag – Let it fall off naturally.
✔ Avoid using on sensitive areas (like eyelids) – Consult a doctor for those.
✔ Moisturize with aloe vera after treatment to help the skin heal.
