They appear as small growths on the surface of the skin, usually around the neck, under the breasts, over the eyelids, under the armpits or the groin folds. Although they are mostly harmless and painless, they are unwanted as they look ugly and may be bothersome if they catch on clothing.

Banana Peel

Banana Peel: Banana peels are traditionally used in removing warts as they contain enzymes and acids. The same chemicals can also help to shed your skin tags. Cut a small portion of a banana peel and place the fibrous part (white side) on the skin tag for an hour. Do this for a few days until the skin tag falls off.
