DEAR DR. GOTT: A while back, I read an article about skin-tag removal. It mentioned something used on fingernails as a home remedy. Can you please tell me what this is?

DEAR READER: The product you are referring to is nail-hardening polish. For the removal of skin tags, it is applied to the lesion once or twice a day. As the coating builds up, it can be pulled off, removing the tag. The process may take up to a week.

To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Dr. Gott’s Compelling Home Remedies.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order payable to Newsletter and mailed to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com.
