The Removal of Skin Tags

Do you suffer from small skin growths on your neck, armpits, or under your breasts? Then there's a good chance they are skin tags (fibromas). Although they are harmless, they can be cosmetically bothersome or cause persistent irritation. Fortunately, you can remove them safely and naturally. In this article, you'll learn exactly what skin tags are, how they develop, and what you can do about them – without immediately needing to see a doctor.

✅ What Are Skin Tags?

Skin tags – also known as fibromas – are benign skin growths. They are common in adults and usually appear in warm, moist areas of the body such as:

Neck
Armpits
Under the breasts
Groin area
Eyelids

They feel soft and are often skin-colored or light brown. They are not contagious and pose no risk to your health.

🧬 How Do Skin Tags Develop?

The exact cause is not always clear, but known factors include:

Friction (e.g., skin-on-skin or clothing)
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause)
Overweight
Genetic predisposition
Diabetes or insulin resistance

❗ Are Skin Tags Dangerous?

In most cases, skin tags are completely harmless. They rarely cause pain, but they can become irritated or bleed if they rub against clothing or jewelry.

✂️ Removing Skin Tags Yourself – What Are Your Options?

There are several methods to remove skin tags yourself:

1. Natural products

Plant-based formulas are available that gently dry out warts. This usually takes 7–14 days.

💡 At Pure Health Store, you'll find natural products without harsh chemicals.

2. Wart pen or liquid nitrogen (home use)

This method "freezes" the wart so it dies off. Not suitable for sensitive skin.

3. Ligation method

A string or special ring is tied around the wart to cut off its blood supply. After a few days, the wart falls off on its own.

4. Professional treatment

A dermatologist or general practitioner can remove the wart via:

Coagulation (burning)
Cryotherapy (freezing)
Surgical removal
