Skin tags are small, harmless bumps that often appear where skin rubs together, like in the armpits or neck. While they don’t cause any health issues, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or to prevent irritation from clothing or jewelry. If you want to try removing skin tags at home, here are nine easy remedies using items you likely have at home:
**1. Tea Tree Oil:** This oil is known for its cleaning properties. To use it, put a few drops on a clean cotton ball and place it on the skin tag. Secure it with a bandage and leave it on overnight. Repeat this every night until the skin tag falls off.
**2. Apple Cider Vinegar:** Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and place it on the skin tag. Secure it with a bandage and do this every day for a few weeks. Over time, the skin tag will darken, dry out, and eventually fall off.
**3. Garlic:** Garlic has natural properties that can help shrink skin tags. Crush a garlic clove to make a paste, apply it to the skin tag, and cover it overnight. Wash it off in the morning and keep doing this until the skin tag disappears.
**4. Banana Peel:** The enzymes in banana peels can help break down skin tags. Cut a small piece of banana peel and place it over the skin tag, then cover it with a bandage overnight. Continue this process until the skin tag falls off.
**5. Vitamin E Oil:** This oil is good for your skin and may help with skin tags. Apply vitamin E oil to the skin tag and cover it with a bandage. Change the bandage daily until the skin tag falls off.
Using these simple remedies can help you remove skin tags at home safely and effectively. Always remember to be gentle with your skin and consult a doctor if you have any concerns.
3-year-old boy dies in car crash on way to his own birthday party – rest in peace
A heartbreaking tragedy took place when a 3-year-old boy named Josiah Toleafoa was killed on the day he was supposed to celebrate his third birthday.
The sweet boy and his family were at the parking lot of Play City, an indoor venue for kids’ parties, when a car hit Josiah.
Witnesses of the tragedy said that his devastated mother screamed and cried hysterically as paramedics were trying to save his life. Unfortunately, Josiah didn’t make it. He died at the Rady Children’s Hospital.
This family’s lives turned upside down. What was supposed to be a day of joy turned into the worst experience of their lives. Their happiness was replaced with grief and sorrow and their world shattered into a million pieces.
Reportedly, the 36-year-old driver who killed Josiah and whose identity hasn’t been confirmed wasn’t under influence of drugs or alcohol. He stayed at the scene and cooperated with the authorities and reasons behind the loss of control haven’t been confirmed.
Members of the family started a GoFundMe to help Josiah’s mom and dad with the funeral expenses.
“JOSIAH brought the family together- his incredible SMILE, LOVING HEART simply brought JOY to any room. There was no time to see him do amazing things. I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD,” the boy’s aunt, Tatiana Toleafoa wrote.
“We’re doing this gofundme to help with my sweet nephew’s funeral expenses and services for the little angel that touched so many lives in so many different ways before he was called to Heaven. Any amount would help, anything at all. We are so thankful to have loving family and friends to be with us and love us through this horrible tragedy and want to be able to put him to rest to say goodbye and never forget the little boy who loved with a tremendous heart,” the page stated.
The owner of Play City donated $2,000 to the Josiah’s family and that the landlord matched his donation as well.
Currently, no arrests have been made.
We are so very sorry for this family’s heartbreak. There is no greater loss than that of losing a child.
Rest in peace, Josiah.
