Skin tags are benign cutaneous growths commonly occurring under the arms, under the breasts on women or on the eyelids. Although vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and skin healer, there is no scientific evidence to support its use in eliminating skin tags. Some home remedies suggest that vitamin E applied topically to a skin tag over a long period of time might eliminate or reduce the appearance of the skin tag. The most effective way to get rid of a skin tag is to have it removed by your doctor.
Step 1
Purchase pure vitamin E oil at your local health food or drugstore. If you cannot find pure oil, you can buy capsules and break open one capsule for each use.
Step 2
Clean and dry the area around the skin tag. Apply a thin layer of vitamin E oil to the skin tag.
Step 3
Place a bandage over the skin tag to seal the vitamin E oil in and to protect it from irritation.
Step 4
Change the bandage and apply a new dose of vitamin E oil every day after showering.
Step 5
Repeat this process daily for several months, or until your desired results are achieved.
