The milk that is inside of the stems of fig branches is a natural and highly effective way to remove warts and skin tags without the dangers of chemical acids. We happen to have a fig bush. Hopefully you can find one in your neighbourhood! Just snap a branch in half and the milk will slowly ooze out. Apply this milk to your wart or skin tag twice daily until it's gone.

Fig leaf milk really works on warts! Tried everything on my hand over 2 months, vinegar, banana peel, potato, masking tape... Finally tried the fig milk and the wart literally healed and vanished in a week.
Yes it works... I had warts on my hands and used fig milk and they never came back
Hi there. I also hv a fig tree at my house. I also tried the fig milk and it got rid of a wart or skin tag on my face and the itch too. My face looks a lot better.
I have been using the fig tree to remove skin tags for 15 years. Applied twice a day until the skin tag is gone is too often. I have read articles suggesting a dosage of twice a day until the skin tag is gone. It will cause your skin to burn and will itch if too much is applied. Just apply it two days in a row then a couple of days later apply the milk one more time. You will notice the tag get bigger and turn red 4 days after the initial use.
I've had dozens of skin tags removed over the years. When I'd get brave enough, I'd cut them off myself, using the tiny scissors in a Swiss Army knife. I'd deaden the area with ice first.
I've also used liquid bandage, coating the tag, letting it dry, peeling it off, and repeating this for a few days.
Last year, I had about 20 just under my bra line on my upper stomach area. I found a skin tag remover kit on Amazon, and I removed all of them in just a few days.
The kit has a tool that looks like a hard plastic straw that comes to a point on one end. There are tiny, tiny plastic bands that you slide from the point down to the open end, and there's another tool that pushes the band off. You put the open end over the tag and when you push it off, it wraps tightly around the tag and cuts off the blood supply. Mine were usually gone within 2 days. Sometimes I had to cover the spot with a bandaid, and you have to be sure you get the right size.
I got the small to medium, and they have medium to large. Unfortunately, some tags are so small that the band just falls off. The bands are so tiny that if they fall on the floor, they're hard to find, so I learned to hold something underneath to catch the band if necessary.
Cool! That does sound like it would be effective. My husband has tightly tied a string around some of his and gotten them to fall off that way.
I had another friend tell me to sleep with a cotton ball soaked with apple cider vinegar attached to the tags, with a bandage. She swears it works fast, for warts too.
Hi Jess--sorry I'm just now seeing this. I've done the string method, too, but it's hard to do that with just two hands. You really need a helper to get the string (or dental floss) tight enough.
Tying a hair round it works too with help.
