Skin tags are small, harmless bumps that often appear where skin rubs together, like in the armpits or neck. While they don’t cause any health issues, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or to prevent irritation from clothing or jewelry. If you want to try removing skin tags at home, here are nine easy remedies using items you likely have at home:
**1. Tea Tree Oil:** This oil is known for its cleaning properties. To use it, put a few drops on a clean cotton ball and place it on the skin tag. Secure it with a bandage and leave it on overnight. Repeat this every night until the skin tag falls off.
**2. Apple Cider Vinegar:** Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and place it on the skin tag. Secure it with a bandage and do this every day for a few weeks. Over time, the skin tag will darken, dry out, and eventually fall off.
**3. Garlic:** Garlic has natural properties that can help shrink skin tags. Crush a garlic clove to make a paste, apply it to the skin tag, and cover it overnight. Wash it off in the morning and keep doing this until the skin tag disappears.
**4. Banana Peel:** The enzymes in banana peels can help break down skin tags. Cut a small piece of banana peel and place it over the skin tag, then cover it with a bandage overnight. Continue this process until the skin tag falls off.
**5. Vitamin E Oil:** This oil is good for your skin and may help with skin tags. Apply vitamin E oil to the skin tag and cover it with a bandage. Change the bandage daily until the skin tag falls off.
Using these simple remedies can help you remove skin tags at home safely and effectively. Always remember to be gentle with your skin and consult a doctor if you have any concerns.
Тhеrе Is Mаjоr Соntrоvеrsy Аftеr Ms. Аlаbаmа Is Сrоwnеd
A plus-sized winner of a Miss Alabama beauty contest, Sara Millikеn, has responded to online trolls who labeled her an “unhealthy embarrassment.” The 23-year-old was thrilled when she won the top prize in the National American Miss pageant, but her joy was short-lived as she faced a barrage of negative comments about her appearance.
“Even something that you type over a screen can have a lasting impression on people,” Millikеn told WKRG. “Even though I’m not at that point, it can lead people to do some very dark things to themselves.”
Millikеn’s response to the criticism highlights the impact of cyberbullying and the importance of kindness. Despite the negative comments, she remains determined to not let the harsh words hold her back as she prepares for the national final in Florida over Thanksgiving.
Among the cruel remarks, Blaine Tom Mieroughts wrote, “I thought it was a beauty pageant,” while Randy Hicks added, “Is that actually considered attractive in Alabama?” John Mason made a hurtful reference to the fast-food chain, saying, “This should have been (M)iss Jack in the Box winner.”
However, Millikеn also received support from many individuals. Tracie Stephens-Brooks praised her, saying, “To know is to love her. This young lady has a heart of gold and will give anyone in need a helping hand. A beautiful obese diva with style, sass, and a lot of class.” Samantha Thrash Duff expressed her pride, stating, “So proud of her! We watched her all weekend and prayed hard that she would come home with that title! She is an amazing, sweet young woman and is going to do great things!” David Junior added, “Great to finally not see some 100lb, blonde hair blue eyes who wants world peace win! Congrats to Alabama and this Queen!”
Millikеn’s victory was her third attempt at the contest, which aims to foster “positive self-image by enhancing natural beauty within.” She competed over Memorial Day Weekend, participating in interviews, volunteer work, and presentations. The pageant scores contestants based on “personality, confidence, and communication,” according to organizers.
The website for the contest states, “Braces, glasses, skin problems, varying heights, weights, and appearances are all a part of creating the special and unique individual that you are and that we want to celebrate.”
Although sh.ocked by the initial negative response, Millikеn has since received an outpouring of support from around the world, gaining 2,500 followers on Instagram and Facebook overnight.
She remains focused on spreading positivity. “I’ll be honest, it got to me for about five minutes,” she admitted. “Their words can hurt, even if it is online. I’ve always wanted to spread positivity, and this kind of put me in a position to do exactly that.”
Supporters have offered her everything from dresses to beauty products to help her in the next round of the competition. Millikеn emphasized the importance of kindness and noted that not everyone can easily shake off cyberbullying.
“No matter what your body looks likе, no matter where you come from, you can do anything you set your mind to,” Millikеn said following her victory. “I met so many amazing and accomplished women. That was definitely the best part.”
Hundreds of supporters have since flooded her inbox with offers of support, reinforcing the importance of community and positivity in the face of online negativity.
