Tired of annoying skin tags but not ready for costly treatments? You’re about to learn a surprisingly simple, natural method using ingredients you already have: toothpaste and garlic.
But first — What are skin tags?
Skin tags are harmless little flaps of skin that pop up in places like your neck, armpits, or under your breasts. They’re common — and yes, you can treat them gently at home.
What You’ll Need:
- A clove of fresh garlic (natural antibacterial & skin-drying power)
- White toothpaste (not gel – it helps dry the tag and protect the area)
- A small bandage or medical tape
How to Do It — Step by Step:
- Crush 1 garlic clove into a smooth paste.
- Apply a small dab of white toothpaste on the skin tag.
- Layer the garlic paste on top of the toothpaste.
- Cover with a bandage to keep it in place overnight.
- Repeat this nightly for 7–10 days.
Why It Works:
Garlic is rich in sulfur compounds that dry out the tag.
The combo helps the skin tag dry out naturally and fall off painlessly.
Always do a patch test first to check for skin sensitivity.
Avoid this method on the eyelids or sensitive areas.
Stop if you feel burning, redness, or irritation.
💡 Bonus Tip:
Add a drop of tea tree oil for extra antiseptic power!
