2. Then, using a cotton swab, apply around 2 drops of iodine solution.

Repeat this procedure twice a day until the skin tag is removed completely.

Precautions

Before you start using any one of the skin tag treatment options, I recommend consulting a doctor from Skin Tag Removal Clinic in Santa Ana to rule out the possibility of any skin cancer.

Many factors are responsible for causing skin tags like age, genetics, friction between skin, and sometimes even metabolic disorders. These are not at all harmful for your overall health.

Therefore, instead of opting for expensive surgical options, you can choose safe and effective home remedies. But, while using the natural ways, be patient as well as consistent with your skin tag treatment as it may take days and even weeks for complete skin tag removal.
