Nothing ventured, nothing gained is a very true statement. If you have a skin tag, and you want to get rid of it, trying to get rid of it at home will save you time and money. There are several really good options that have worked wonders for most people that have tried them. The first rule of thumb with any home remedy is that it should not cause more harm than good, when you chooses a home remedy for skin tag removal keep in mind where the skin tag is and whether or not it is in an area that you should or should not put chemicals in or around, like the eyes. The area around the eyes is very sensitive because the skin is so thin, so keep this in mind as you read through the home remedies.

Suffocate It

The skin tag depends on a supply of blood from the skin, a great home remedy for skin tag removal involves cutting off the blood supply to the skin tag so that it will shrivel up, die and fall off.

You can suffocate your skin tag in a few different ways. You can use a string to tie it off at the base, you can cover it up with a piece of duct tape or a band aid or- this sounds strange- paint it with finger nail polish. In each case the goal is to cut off the blood supply so that the skin tag will fall off. Of the aforementioned methods the string tied around the base or stem is the most effective method.

Burn it Off

A home remedy for skin tag removal that is very effective is to pain the skin tag a couple of times a day with vinegar. The acidic effect of the vinegar will wear away the skin tag over time, usually two to three weeks. Never use this remedy around the eyes.

A paste of baking soda and castor oil also will work. Simply prepare a paste that is a bit pliable and paint your skin tag with it.  Do not use this remedy around the eyes either.

Cut It Off

The most effective and quickest home remedy for skin tag removal is to just snip it off. Tie off the skin tag with a piece of string than cut either with a nail clipper that has been disinfected or with a pair of scissors that has been disinfected right above the string. There is likely to be some bleeding at the site so have some antiseptic on hand and a clean gauze pad to apply a bit of pressure.

On the up side of things once you get rid of the skin tag it will not grow back. A home remedy for skin tag removal is a great way to save some money and get rid of that unsightly tag.
