Subtraction of skin tags using castor oil and baking soda

Sodium bicarbonate, which is commonly called as baking soda seems to be highly useful in removal of skin tags. Castor oil is also receiving the same reverential treatment from people who have tried using it to remove their skin tags. Castor oil and tea tree oil have figured way too many times in many journals and other scientific publications. They are made integral parts of various treatments and medcial therapies. I bet you didn't have any idea that baking soda is a wonderful exfoliant. Agents that are designed to remove dead skin cells can also work the same wonders on skin tags. The formation of skin tags is often blamed largely on the HPV, otherwise known as the human papilloma virus.

Some people have reported that it is not highly effective when used separately. But when it is used along with other exfoliant agents, the potency of the baking soda powder enhances to a great extent.

For instance, mixing the powder in equal proportion with the castor oil seems to remove skin tags easily. What does the castor oil do in this case? Castor oil softens the skin around the skin tag. On the other hand, baking soda dries out the skin tags. Dried up skin tags naturally fall off by themselves. This is also how sour apple juice works. If you wish to try out surgical options, cryotherapy can be a good option. The location of skin tag is important, when you choose the treatment measure. It would not be good to use a band aid if the skin tag is in some private regions.A quick-acting treatment would be called for if you know that the skin tags will be subjected to much irritation.
The cause of skin tags have always been speculated on by many. It can arise from the skin being subjected to too much friction. Skin tag can also result from skin rubbing against skin.

It is the dermal layer of the skin's defense mechanism to create another layer if it is subjected to too  much rubbing against clothing or jewelry. Skin tags, then, come about. The skin cells replicate so fast and to create space, they move forward instead of upward. Warts and skin tags are formed in the same way. Did you know that skin tags are more prevalent among obese individuals than others? The skin tags often appear around the armpit or groin areas. For some people, skin tag formation might even occur in the breast region. You will be both embarrassed and uncomfortable having that overhanging skin to look at. That is why I cannot blame a lot of people from wanting these skin tags gone as soon as possible.

If people gain or lose weight often, they are more prone to skin friction issues. Skin tags also develop among women during pregnancy. If they are obese as well as pregnant, there will be too many skin tags. These skin overhangs are normally located under the breasts and around the armpits. But once the child is born, these skin tags might get removed easily.
