Instructions (routine, safe, non-invasive)
Internal (daily tonic for healthy skin)
One cup of warm water. Add the grated ginger (½ tsp). steep for five minutes.
Add 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp raw honey after straining. Drink once every day.
Topical (protective and soothing, not harmful)
Do a patch test first if you want a topical calming application: To verify there is no severe irritation or allergy, dab a small area of healthy skin with diluted lemon juice (1 part lemon juice to 4 parts water) for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse and wait 24 hours. Avoid using it on sensitive areas, broken skin, or places close to the eyes.
For modest antioxidant and brightening effects, you can apply a fingertip quantity of diluted lemon (as above) with a drop of raw honey on healthy surrounding skin for a brief period of time before washing it off if there is no reaction. Lemon might make you more sensitive to light, so avoid prolonged exposure and sunshine straight after.
If you detect redness in your skin subsequently, use aloe vera gel to calm it down. Stop right away and consult a clinician if you have any burning, stinging, ulceration, or worsening.
Important: these topical procedures are not intended to eliminate a skin tag; rather, they are for skin maintenance and support. Never try to “chemically” remove a tag at home by tying, cutting, burning, or otherwise altering it.
Benefits (things that this practice could assist with)
Oral ginger: supports antioxidants and reduces inflammation; may improve overall skin health and circulation.

When applied sparingly, lemon (extremely diluted, topical): vitamin C (antioxidant) may help brighten skin, but it can also irritate.
Honey soothes minor irritations and has a slight antimicrobial effect.
All things considered, a mild diet and skin care regimen can help with skin conditions but cannot medically remove a skin tag.
