How can I remove and prevent skin tags? - #40049

It’s advisable to go for Agnikarma or ksharkarma.

Hello I completely understand your concern. Having multiple skin tags — especially around visible areas like the neck or under the eyes — can be both cosmetically distressing and physically uncomfortable. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

You mentioned that the tags have been present for over a year and have increased with mild weight gain. This indicates a deeper metabolic and dosha imbalance, rather than a purely local issue.

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Triphala Guggulu 1 tablet twice daily after food with warm water (Reduces fat metabolism and detoxifies blood)

2 Arogyavardhini Vati 1 tablet twice daily after food (Improves liver function and removes skin impurities)

3 Gandhak Rasayan 1 tablet twice daily after food (Acts as Rasayana for skin; purifies Rakta Dhatu)

4 Kanchanar Guggulu 1 tablet twice daily after food (Helpful in dissolving benign growths and glandular swellings)

These formulations together pacify Kapha and Medo Dushti, improve skin tone, and prevent the formation of new tags.

✅EXTERNAL APPLICATION

Kanchanar Guggulu Paste – Crush a tablet, mix with rose water or aloe-vera gel, apply locally for 15–20 minutes, then wash off.

Karanja Taila – Apply once daily to prevent infection and reduce itching or irritation.

Laksha Churna + Lemon Juice Paste – For smaller tags, once every 2–3 days to help dry them.

Avoid cutting or tying the tags at home; it can cause infection or scarring.

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include:

Bitter and astringent foods – neem leaves, methi, karela, drumstick, bottle gourd Fresh fruits (pomegranate, apple, papaya) Barley, millets, and old rice Plenty of warm water and herbal teas (Triphala or Neem decoction once weekly)

❌ Avoid:

Oily, fried, and sugary foods Excess dairy (curd, cheese, butter) White flour, junk food, cold drinks, and preserved foods

✅ LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Maintain healthy body weight; include brisk walking or Surya Namaskar daily.

Avoid friction around the neck and underarms (tight ornaments or clothing).

Bathe daily using lukewarm water infused with Neem Leaves.

Practice Kapalabhati Pranayama and Anulom Vilom for improved metabolism.

Manage stress through meditation and adequate sleep.

✅HOME REMEDIES

1. Apple Cider Vinegar Dab: Apply diluted ACV with cotton on small tags for 10–15 minutes, then rinse.

2. Castor Oil + Turmeric Paste: Apply locally to reduce irritation and dry out tags.

3. Fresh Aloe Vera Gel: Soothes the skin and prevents new tag formation.

(If any irritation occurs, discontinue the remedy immediately.)

✅ Prevention

Maintain ideal body weight. Keep folds and creases of the skin dry and clean.

Skin tags are benign and can be completely managed through Ayurvedic Rakta-Shodhana, Kapha-Medo Pacification, and lifestyle correction.

The focus is not only on external removal but also on internal cleansing to prevent recurrence.

With regular internal medicines and proper external care, visible improvement can be noticed within 6–8 week

With consistent Ayurvedic management — internal purification, proper diet, and external application — your skin can regain its natural balance, and the recurrence of tags can be prevented.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate
