Bothered by skin tags but not keen on expensive treatments?
Discover a surprisingly easy and natural method using everyday ingredients: toothpaste and garlic.
But first—what exactly are skin tags?
Skin tags are harmless, small pieces of skin that often appear on the neck, armpits, or under the breasts. They’re quite common—and yes, you can remove them gently at home.
What You’ll Need:
- A fresh garlic clove (for its natural antibacterial and drying properties)
- Plain white toothpaste (not gel—it helps dry the tag and shield the area)
- A small bandage or some medical tape
How to Apply—Step by Step:
- Crush a garlic clove into a paste.
- Apply a dab of white toothpaste onto the skin tag.
- Add the garlic paste on top of the toothpaste.
- Cover with a bandage to hold everything in place overnight.
- Repeat nightly for about 7–10 days.
Why This Works:
Garlic contains sulfur compounds that naturally dry out the skin tag.
Toothpaste (often containing baking soda or hydrogen peroxide) helps shrink and dry the tag over time.
Together, they help the tag dry out and fall off without pain.
⚠️ Caution:
- Always test a small patch of skin first to check for sensitivity.
- Avoid using this method near the eyes or on delicate areas.
- Stop if you experience burning, redness, or irritation.
💡 Bonus Tip:
Add a drop of tea tree oil for extra antiseptic benefits!
