How to Use Essential Oils for Skin Tags

A skin tag is a small growth of skin that can often be found on the neck, face and under the breasts (this occurs mostly in women). The skin tag, also known as acrochordons, is usually long and tubular and often is only a few shades darker than your natural skin color. Most skin tags are benign although malignant ones do occur. While most skin tags do not pose a serious medical threat, they can be embarrassing to the person who suffers from them.

  Wet your cotton ball and squeeze out any excess moisture.

• 3

  Add 3 drops of tea tree oil directly to your wet cotton ball.
