Sheila contacted me about a painful skin tag on her eyelid and wondered if homeopathy could help.
When I first met with Sheila she did not mention her painful skin tag because she was suffering with more pressing issues, and we needed to deal with those first. As per usual, once the more sobering complaints begin to soften with the use of homeopathy, other concerns begin to come to the fore.
Hi Lisa, I am starting to improve and I am so very thankful. However, I have a skin tag on my eyelid. I have had it for several months. It is getting larger and is sore. Sometimes when I wash my face I touch it and it is uncomfortable. I had put it on the back burner as I am concentrating on my program. I hesitate to go to the dermatologist as I do not know what they will want to do. Years ago when I had some on my eyes they just cut them off with a small scissor.
Sheila mentioned that years ago she had skin tags but they were just excised with scissors. Not surprisingly, another one came back. Just because they were cut off doesn't mean the problem is "solved". Surgery can be suppressive. Cutting off the skin tag didn't solve the problem, it just suppressed it.
Homeopathy, on the other hand, does not suppress, it corrects. The body was gently stimulated to make the correction and eliminated the skin tag naturally.
Often skin tags are harmless, but sometimes it will be a sign that something else is going on in your body and you may want to have it checked out by your doctor. In Sheila's case the skin tag was was not dangerous, it was annoying, unsightly and painful. She didn't want to go and cut it off again, she was hoping that I could suggest something gentler.
My first thought was to use apple cider vinegar and apply it to the area since it had worked so well for my husband's skin tag. I also suggested she take Hepar Sulphuris Calcaria 30c or Hepar Sulph for short, one dose 3x daily because it was quite painful and sore to the touch.
Hepar Sulph is my go to for healing soft tissue infections. Often the pain is greater than one would expect just by looking at it. You'll remember I suggested the use of this remedy in a recent post My Daughter Has a Gum Boil! but in a 6c potency because it was dental related.
Hi Lisa, my skin tag came off last night. Do you want me to continue with the Hepar Sulph 30c and vinegar? I am amazed!
Within 3 days the skin tag was gone! No need to go to the doctor and have it cut off, just a couple of simple remedies that gently did the work for her.
I told her to stop taking the Hepar sulph 30 and ACV because the work was complete. Don't ya' just love that? So simple, so gentle, yet SO effective.
So now YOU know what to do the next time you encounter a painful skin tag.
