Skin tags, also known as acrochordons, are small, soft, benign growths of skin that commonly appear in areas where skin folds or rubs against skin or clothing, such as the neck, armpits, groin, eyelids, or under the breasts. They are usually flesh-colored or slightly darker, painless, and slow-growing. Skin tags are more common in middle-aged and elderly individuals, people with obesity, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome, and during hormonal changes such as pregnancy. Though harmless, they may cause cosmetic concern, irritation, or discomfort if they are rubbed frequently.

In homoeopathy, skin tags are treated based on individualized constitutional and local symptom totality. Remedies are selected considering the number, size, color, texture, and location of the tags, as well as the patient’s constitutional tendencies such as obesity, digestive imbalance, or metabolic susceptibility. Homoeopathic medicines aim to gradually reduce the size and number of skin tags, improve metabolic and endocrine function, and prevent recurrence. They are particularly useful when surgical removal is inconvenient or to complement post-procedural healing.

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Skin Tags

Multiple Small Skin Tags – Thuja occidentalis

Thuja is the most commonly indicated remedy for small, soft, flesh-colored skin tags, especially when they appear in clusters on the neck, armpits, or eyelids. It is also useful for patients with a history of warts or other benign skin growths, particularly following suppression of eruptions. The remedy helps normalize tissue growth and improve immune balance.

Large, Pedunculated Skin Tags – Rhus Toxicodendron

Rhus Tox is indicated when skin tags are larger, firm, and connected to the skin with a noticeable stalk. Tags may be red or inflamed at the base, especially in areas of friction. The remedy is chosen for individuals who are prone to skin inflammation and stiffness, with aggravation from movement or rubbing.

Soft, Flabby Growths – Calcarea Fluorica

Skin tags that are soft, flabby, or hanging loosely, especially in obese patients or those with lax connective tissue, respond well to Calcarea Fluorica. This remedy helps strengthen connective tissue, reduce soft tissue overgrowth, and prevent recurrence.

Tags with Tendency to Bleed – Silicea

When skin tags are prone to minor bleeding or irritation from friction, Silicea is indicated. It strengthens tissue, supports healing, and may reduce the formation of new growths. It is also suited for patients with weak resistance to infections or slow healing tendencies.

Skin Tags in Obese or Metabolic-Prone Individuals – Calcarea Carbonica

Patients with overweight, sluggish metabolism, and multiple skin tags benefit from Calcarea Carbonica. It helps regulate metabolic processes, reduce tissue overgrowth, and improve systemic vitality.

Tags Following Suppressed Skin Conditions – Graphites

Graphites is indicated when skin tags appear in patients with a history of suppressed eruptions, eczema, or chronic skin dryness. Tags are often soft, clustered, and located in areas of skin folds.

Hard or Fibrous Tags – Fluoric Acid

Hard, fibrous, or yellowish skin tags, sometimes larger in size, are addressed with Fluoric Acid. It is particularly useful for patients with weak connective tissue, varicose veins, or excessive tissue growth tendencies.

Tags in Hormonal Imbalance – Sepia

Skin tags associated with hormonal changes such as pregnancy, menopause, or menstrual irregularities respond to Sepia. Tags often appear in the neck, axilla, or groin, and patients may feel fatigue, irritability, or mood changes.

Red or Irritated Tags – Arsenicum Album

Arsenicum Album is indicated when tags are inflamed, red at the base, or itchy, especially in patients who are anxious, restless, and sensitive to cold or dry conditions.

Small Tags on Eyelids or Facial Areas – Petroleum

Petroleum is suitable for small, soft tags on delicate areas such as eyelids, lips, or facial folds, often accompanied by dry, rough skin. The remedy aids in tissue repair and softening of growths.

Clusters of Tags – Causticum

When skin tags appear in groups, sometimes with a tendency to spread, Causticum is indicated. Tags are usually soft, small, and may be accompanied by skin laxity or connective tissue weakness.

Tags with Itching or Discomfort – Sulphur

Skin tags that itch, burn, or cause discomfort in folds or areas of friction respond well to Sulphur. The remedy is suited for patients with oily skin, chronic skin issues, or systemic susceptibility to eruptions.

Pedunculated Tags in Axilla or Neck – Kali Carbonicum

Kali Carb is indicated for pedunculated tags that develop in areas of pressure or friction, particularly in individuals with weakness in connective tissue and tendency to sweat excessively.

Skin Tags in Elderly Patients – Natrum Muriaticum

Elderly individuals with multiple, soft, slow-growing tags respond to Natrum Mur. Tags may appear on the neck, eyelids, or trunk, with accompanying skin dryness and fatigue.

Tags Following Scar or Trauma – Hypericum

When skin tags develop at the site of trauma, minor cuts, or previous scars, Hypericum can help normalize tissue growth and support healing.

Homoeopathic management of skin tags focuses on gradual reduction of growths, improving connective tissue integrity, and preventing recurrence. Remedies are selected based on the size, texture, location, and number of skin tags, as well as patient constitutional features such as metabolic status, hormonal balance, and connective tissue strength. Regular follow-up and supportive care, including maintaining proper hygiene, avoiding friction, and controlling systemic factors like obesity or hormonal imbalance, complement remedy use for optimal results.
