Skin tags are small, soft growths that commonly appear on areas where the skin rubs against itself, such as the neck, underarms, groin, or eyelids. Because they are usually harmless, many people look for simple home remedies to remove them quickly.
One popular suggestion is petroleum jelly. However, petroleum jelly does not remove skin tags overnight. It can help moisturize and protect irritated skin, but there is no reliable evidence that applying petroleum jelly will make a skin tag disappear.
