I have tried various other treatments including Compound W Freeze Away (with some success), Glycolic Acid (with little success) and H202 35% (little success, but I probably dilute it took much).
Thanks to this forum on Earth Clinic, I tried ACV to see if it has any effect on the SKs. Some have been stubborn but many have actually have gone away. The one's that are gone became irritated, developed small scabs, and eventually were gone.
I cut cotton pads to the size of the SK. Soak it in ACV and then use a bandaid to secure over-night. The largest one took about 7-10 days to remove completely.
It may not work for everyone and on every SK but I am encouraged right now.

I made up my own concoction. It had apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, lavender oil, oregano oil, geranium oil, olive oil, and witch hazel, which just helps blend the oils with the vinegar (you still need to shake the bottle before using) *--special note--*if you are going to mix some up, just do your own research on diluting essential oils)--Since it was in that special area, I would just put some on a cotton ball, at the very least, twice a day, and sometimes up to four times a day, and my bra would keep it in place. I'd just leave it there, until the next application. I did that faithfully for three months (give or take a week), and it is gone, gone, gone...it has been gone for over a year, and hasn't showed any signs of coming back yet. I don't know if I was misdiagnosed or not, but I did a lot of research on the subject, and it certainly looked like one as well.
I hope this helps anyone who is looking for a natural way to get rid of these barnacles. You'll have to be patient and faithful, though...it's not an overnight cure.
If you have just one or just a few on your back, I would say use the cotton ball method with some skin tape, or put it on a band-aid--and do it at bedtime, so it soaks in throughout the night. I don't know that I have any super ideas for trying to get rid of big numbers of them at one time that is going to be cost-friendly, as the only thing that comes to mind is soaking a towel in the mixture and sleeping on it (with a plastic sheet to protect mattress).
P.S. It does get a little itchy (nothing you can't handle, though), but that's how you know it's working!

Delighted this works, after trying lemon, coconut oil, yogurt, witch hazel and one expensive cream that I returned to Amazon.
Tips:
By using a q-tip swab, make sure the end is soaked with ACV then apply it just to the bump, otherwise, the skin that is not affected will dry out too. Add ratio of 1:1 water and be careful not to get near eyes. I would not use a band-aid unless you can isolate the ACV just to the affected area b/c the acid sensitizes other parts of your skin at the same time.
