Apple cider vinegar for anal skin tags

Posted By Moose (Naples, Florida, Usa) on 09/11/2012

I have two rather annoying anal skin tags resulting from hemmrhoids. I really want them gone, but cutting off the blood flow with dental floss horrifies me and I don't have time to deal with it anyway, considering I am a student. I have been considering using apple cider vinegar but I was not sure if it (or any other substance) would be safe to use down there. Should I go ahead with it? And if that's not such a good idea, could I try something else?

I think it depends on how bad your hemorrhoids are. ACV is very strong. When I removed my tags I placed a cotton soaked in ACV in the area before going to bed and removed in the morning. After a few days the area was very sore and burnt out, so I gave it a break and resumed once I could handle it again. The tags simply fell out after maybe 5 days total to my amazement, while showering one day. With root and all! I was amazed. That was over 4 years ago. They never returned.

I guess you can do two things: 1) cure the root cause of your hemm and then deal with the tag later; or 2) try the method I described but be very gentle on yourself: alternate application days and dilute your ACV with water. Then increase concentration and how often you apply until they are gone. Good luck!
