Skin growths, medically called acrochordons, are the result of the accumulation of skin blood vessels, capillaries and collagen on the rougher parts of the skin.
They are small fleshy growths with an irregular shape. They most commonly occur under the arms, on the hands, neck, eyelids and the underside of the breasts. They affect women and men equally.
The usual procedure is that people go to a dermatologist. The doctor then removes them using a laser, liquid nitrogen or some other invasive method.
However, there are also natural ways by which you can remove these skin growths yourself at home. Today we’ll reveal 7 simple ways to do it.
1. Olej z čajovníku (tea tree oil)
Take a cotton makeup pad, soak it in water and then add 2 to 3 drops of tea tree oil to it.
Then apply it to the skin growth and gently massage it for several minutes in circular motions. Repeat this every day for about one week.
2. Jablečný ocet
Similarly to the previous case, soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and apply it to the skin growth for a few minutes. You can also apply the vinegar using a cotton swab.
Repeat this daily for 2 weeks or until the growth dries up and falls off.
3. Šťáva z cibule
Cut the onion in half and place it in a bowl of salt. In the morning squeeze the juice from the onion and apply it directly to the skin growths.
Repeat this procedure every day for about 12 days. In the end the skin growths should fall off by themselves.
4. Ananasová šťáva
Apply fresh pineapple juice every day, several times a day to the skin growth. Do not wash the juice off, but leave it on.
Repeat this process for about 10 days until the growth completely disappears.
This method is also effective on warts and moles. Pineapple contains enzymes that help break down these formations.
5. Ricinový olej a soda bikarbona
Make a paste from a mixture of baking soda and castor oil in approximately a 1:1 ratio.
Apply this paste to the growths every day for 2 to 4 weeks, after which these unwanted skin formations will fall off by themselves.
6. Banánová slupka
Cut a small piece from a banana peel and apply its inner side to the affected area. Tape it with a plaster or adhesive tape and leave it on overnight.
Repeat the procedure every night until the growth falls off the skin on its own.
7. Vlaštovičník
Get a fresh greater celandine plant. Break a leaf or stem, from which a yellow liquid will start to flow. Put drops of it directly on the skin growths. Repeat this every day until you get rid of the growths. Celandine also works well on ordinary warts.
