Castor Oil put on three times a day with a bandaid over it will get rid of planters warts. I am not sure about other warts. I have not tried it on them.

Skin Tags I cut off with a nail clipper. No pain...no bleeding. Then I apply a little lavender essential oil to cauterize and help heal.

Warts: Use a 50/50 mix of oregano and tea tree essential oils. Apply 2-3 times a day to the area. If it gets inflammed back off to once or twice a day.

Plugged sweat glands that boil up can also be treated with lavender essential oils and a little white clay to draw out..

I have clipped skin tags off using nail clippers. It works great. I've also used tweezers to pinch the skin tag close to the body. It cuts off any blood circulation t it and it dies and falls off. Just another idea.

I don't have any advice about warts/moles, sorry.

Duct tape works. Some researchers actually tried covering warts with duct tape to test a claim they had heard that it removes warts. Much to their surprise it worked. I think it took about 3 weeks. I haven't had the opportunity to try it for more than a few days. The tape does get loose on the edges and I think you would have to put some fresh on every few days. I think mole removal requires a visit to the doctor. Possibly some of the smaller ones could be removed by freezing.

I have heard of making a paste of baking soda ans castor oil. Put it on the mole and cover with a light bandage (at night before going to bed). Do it every night until the mole comes off. I've also read that castor oil rubbed into the mole will make it come off. Haven't tried either one.

Planters warts will usually fall off if the foot is soaked in 120 F water for half an hour for 3 days. Mine went away after an electric blanket thermostat malfunction that baked me good one night.

For skin tags, a semi-dull blade has worked before....

I had a mole removed by a real quack once. After 3 lost stitches that surfaced individually over weeks, multiple infections mostly from the stitches surfacing and resubmerging, alergic reaction to something that laid me up with hives for 3 days, blowing my wife's birthday (ouch) and ending up with a scar 50 times bigger than the mole had been, I decided that it was probably not a good idea to have done that right then and there, but your need may be great enough to outweigh the negative possibilities.

Remember, doctors cause 1 in 11 deaths, or more.

Skin tags: remove them with nail clippers or tie a thread around the base tightly, will fall off.

Warts: OTC remedies are the fastest and painless. Other remedies I've seen don't get to the root, and it will grow back in the same place.

Moles: DO NOT REMOVE YOURSELF! Are you qualified to know whether you are removing something cancerous or pre-cancerous? Go to the Derm. Doc, have him do a shave removal with patholgy. No scarring. If you have moles on your scalp or between your toes.....GO TODAY. Those are common areas where melanomas are found. If you happen to be a moley person, Doc will just do pathology on the weird ones just to make sure. If you see a mole appear for no apparent reason and you are not a moley person, it is imperative that you have pathology done.

Blue and black moles with irregular borders, or moles that change in appearance suddenly and moles that bleed should be examined urgently.

Duct tape for warts

Put duct tape on it and leave it on till the wart starves to death. It's worked every time for me.

What's the difference between a skin tag and a mole?

My sister has these that suddenly developed under her arm pit. What would you define these as?

So true!! I know someone who is a widow now, because she didn't know about the risk of moles between the toes.
