Nail Polish is the easiest and most economical way to treat skin tags. Firstly skin tags have to be cleaned with slightly warm water. Then let the skin tag dry before you start the nail polish treatment.

Drop the nail polish on the skin tag, covering the tag completely. Let the polish dry before rubbing it. Repeat this activity at least twice a day, this will cause the tag to contract and vanish within a few days.

Onion Juice And Lemon Juice

 Cut an onion into pieces and keep it in a bowl overnight with little salt sprinkled on it. Salt exudes water out of onion. Leave it on for about 30 minutes and then wash it with warm water.

If the onion odour troubles you, you can also use lemon juice. Squeeze lemon juice in a bowl and dip the cotton ball in it. Apply it to the tags and repeat the same procedure as you did for onion juice.
