I'm at the start of Day Four on this "vinegar" experiment, and my skin tag might be darkening. I hope so. The internet describes many ways to do this, from soaking the skin tag for 15 minutes per day for up to three weeks, to putting a soaked cotton ball over the tag and using a bandaid to hold it in place nonstop - which takes 3-4 days. I've gone with the latter approach, but I assume my tag will take longer than 3-4 days because the cotton ball has fallen off a couple of times and because this skin tag is bigger than the one I saw on youtube (though, fortunately, it has a narrow base... sort of a water tower shape.)

One thing that everyone seems to agree upon is that the skin tag should turn black before it drops off. Therefore, I'm happy to see the tag turning slightly reddish this evening, though it's a very slight change and I'm wondering if it's real or imagination. If it's the expected change, it should be more obvious in the morning.

I've decided not to continue using petroleum jelly to protect the skin around the tag. It's hard enough getting a bandaid to stick when it's covering a soaked cotton ball. If the skin is oily, it goes from hard to nearly impossible. And if any of the jelly touches the skin tag, the wrong thing gets protected. In any case, my skin isn't bothering me - not yet - so I'm inclined to do without the jelly.

There's no scientific evidence that it works? Fair enough. I have no opinion on it but am happy to be a guinea pig. I've got a particularly big one growing in a spot that my dermatologist doesn't know me near well enough to tackle, so apple cider vinegar may be my only hope.

For now, at least, I'm not diluting the vinegar. I read somewhere that petroleum jelly spread around but not on the skin tag will lessen the chance of burned skin. I'll test this too and let you know in a couple of weeks... or less if the blamed thing shrivels up and dies like it's supposed to.
