Castor oil Castor oil is one of those ingredients that works on a lot of different skin related problems. It works on tags as well. Here is the method-
- Take some castor oil and mix it with baking soda until it forms a paste. Because castor oil is smelly (to say the least), I also recommend adding a couple drops of peppermint or lemon oil to it to help with the smell.
- Wash the affected area and liberally apply the paste to the skin tag.
- Repeat this 3 times a day until it is gone.
Cut it off- This is perhaps the quickest way to handle a skin tag problem. But this method is not for the weak-kneed.

- Liberally rub rubbing alcohol on your skin tag.
- Snip it from the base and then cover with a band aid to help stop the bleeding.

- Take some clear fingernail polish and thoroughly cover the skin tag.
- Let dry.
- Repeat the process 2 times a day until the tag shrinks up and falls off.
