Research shows that skin tags are common, and according to the NIH (National Institutes of Health), it is estimated that 46% of people have skin tags.
Aside from being ugly and annoying because of rubbing on jewelry or clothes, most skin tags are harmless, but it is important to have a dermatologist diagnose the skin tag as not cancerous (benign) before you attempt to remove* them at home using natural remedies.
Skin Tags More Dangerous
There are small moles or lesions commonly mistaken for skin tags that could be malignant, and it would be harmful to try to remove* it at home.
The hardest skin tags to remove* are those that appear near the eyes or eyelids, because if the remedy you would use for other areas of the body is dangerous to have near the eyes, you cannot use it.
The most common at home safe remedy for skin tags on the body is 35% hydrogen peroxide
A common natural remedy for removal of skin tags in general includes using 35% hydrogen peroxide; unfortunately, this can be dangerous around the eyes and is not recommended.
Hydrogen peroxide 35% should be soaked in cotton and applied to skin tag 3-5 times per day for 1-2 weeks or until the skin tag is removed.
Stores typically do not carry this high percentage of hydrogen peroxide, you may need to order it online and keep the contact with surrounding skin minimal because skin can be very sensitive to this high proof.
