pb4 - what type of oil did you use on your tags

I can't rem if it was veggie or olive or something else.  Want to try something new since my last few things seem to have worn off their resolving powers.  I am back to petroleum jelly and thought a nice cooking oil would "taste" better to the ugly tags hahaha.

Someone suggested the following three suggestions on facebook for skin tags. They were talking about the ones on your neck, but it might work?

Tea Tree Oil- Tea tree oil works very well for removing skin tags as well as moles. In fact, tea tree oil is used on various skin disorders. To use this all you need is a little tea tree oil and a cotton ball. Soak the cotton ball in the oil and apply it directly to the affected area. Do this once or twice daily for up to 4 weeks or until the skin tag vanishes.

Castor Oil- Most of you are too young to remember castor oil but this oil was used on a wide variety of common ailments and can be taken both internally and externally. The good news is that you will be using castor oil as an external ointment (I still shudder whenever I think of drinking that stuff). Here is what you will do. Take a little baking soda and mix it with the castor oil to create a paste. I suggest you add some citrus oil as it will stink to high heaven. Apply it to the affected area and cover with a band-aid. The typical time it will take is 2-4 weeks before the skin tag vanishes.

Apple Cider Vinegar-Apple cider vinegar works very well for removing skin tags and the good news is that you can buy it in a grocery store for fairly cheap. Just like tea tree oil, you simply dab some of it on a q-tip or cotton ball and apply it directly to the skin tag. Unlike the tea tree oil, Apple Cider vinegar may cause a stinging sensation for a couple minutes after being applied. Typical time until the skin tag vanishes?....2-4 weeks.

Thanks pb...was really looking for relief not removal.  I know better about that from you and a few others with the painful stories.  Will try the olive oil.  It can't be worse than the vaseline, the neosporin, the cortisone creams I ahve been using!

scifi....yikes vinegar on my perianal tags sounds like it would make me scream .  If I experiment with those...it will be on the tags my hubby has on his upper body.  Let him be the guinea pig hehehehe.
