Dealing with skin tags and plantar warts can be annoying, but several home remedies might help clear them up overnight. Here’s a guide to accessible treatments you can try at home.
**Understanding Skin Tags and Plantar Warts**
Skin tags are soft, harmless growths commonly found on the neck and armpits. Plantar warts, however, are hard growths on the feet that can be painful but are generally harmless.
**Home Remedies to Try**
– **Tea Tree Oil**: Apply directly to the skin tag or wart and cover it overnight. It has “natural antiseptic properties that might help dry out the growths.”
– **Apple Cider Vinegar**: Soak a cotton ball and place it on the affected area nightly. Its acidity “helps break down the tissue of skin tags and warts.”
– **Garlic**: Apply crushed garlic to the growth and leave it overnight. Garlic’s antiviral properties can fight plantar warts.
– **Banana Peel**: Use the inside of the peel on the growth overnight. The peel’s “natural enzymes and acids” may reduce the growth.
**Things to Keep in Mind**
Monitor for irritation, and discontinue if redness or swelling occurs. These remedies are not guaranteed, so consult a professional for persistent issues. Patience is key!
