Skin tags are caused by friction, aging, hormonal changes, and sometimes insulin resistance. They are harmless but can be removed naturally. Neem ghan vati- Kaishore guggulu- 1 tab twice daily after food with lukewarm water Apply paste if neem+ turmeric + alovera gel daily ACV- dip with cotton apply and secure with bandage , it will dry off and fall For melasma- apply kumkumadi tailam

Skin tags are usually harmless and are often caused due to friction, age, or hormonal changes. From an Ayurvedic perspective, skin tags can relate to imbalances in the Kapha and Vata doshas, which might cause tissue growth disturbances. Melasma and blemishes, on the other hand, may be associated with Pitta imbalance, affecting pigment production.

For a natural removal approach, you might want to try topical applications that gently work on the skin. Applying freshly extracted aloe vera gel on skin tags daily can be soothing and may reduce their appearance over time. Castor oil is another excellent option as it balances Vata, thus potentially helping with tissue growth. Just apply a small amount directly on the skin tag and cover with a band-aid overnight. Repeat for a few weeks consistently for best results.

Another suggestion is to make a paste with turmeric and water or milk. Turmeric, with its anti-inflammatory properties, can assist in maintaining skin health and reducing tags. Apply the paste directly to your skin tags once a day, and let it stay for 30 minutes before washing off.

Addressing your Pitta imbalance for melasma and blemishes can involve dietary shifts too. Try to incorporate cooling foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and greens, and reduce fried, spicy foods which can aggravate Pitta excess.

Remember, these natural remedies require patience and consistency. If skin tags persist or cause concern, I would recommend seeing a dermatologist for professional advice. Consider integrating yoga or meditation into your routine as well. They help reduce stress, providing a balance that can impact your doshas positively.

Take time considering all aspects of your lifestyle which may need adjustment – from food, exercise, and stress management – to naturally bring balanced harmony and health to your skin.
