We should always see a doctor for assistance on the treatment of skin abnormalities such as moles, skin tags, discolouration, or any other alteration we notice.
Having said that, there are also excellent natural therapies for certain skin disorders. An increasing number of people are looking to plants, seeds, roots, and leaves for healing, and many of these medicines have been handed down through many generations.
Dark patches and uneven skin tone
There are a lot of ways in which skin changes as we get older. The majority of individuals who get age spots are over the age of 50, however they may appear earlier in certain people. This condition can be inherited or caused by an overproduction of melanin from years of sun exposure. Sun exposure, hormone shifts, and inflammation may all lead to hyperpigmentation, a disorder characterized by the darkening of the skin in certain regions.
It is critical to address both of these disorders promptly upon detection. Actually, we may take measures to avoid their emergence altogether by protecting ourselves from the sun every day, regardless of the weather, using sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and other sun protective gear with a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 30.
But there are methods to stop them from spreading if they do occur.
Aloe Vera: A 2012 research found that aloin in aloe vera functions as a natural depigmentation component, therefore it may be used to treat hyperpigmentation and age spots in a natural way. Before you turn in for the night, rub this on the afflicted regions. When you wake up, rinse it off.
The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar may make black spots less noticeable and act as a skin exfoliant. Additionally, it helps maintain healthy skin due to its moderate antibacterial characteristics.
Over the course of eight weeks of use, orchid extracts help diminish dark spots dramatically. Use face treatments and masks infused with these extracts, or just apply it to the afflicted regions.
Reduce the appearance of black spots by using a serum or cream containing green tea extract directly to the affected areas. Because it is anti-inflammatory and contains antioxidants, green tea extract is useful in reducing hyperpigmentation and age spots. Also, it has the potential to stop the body from making melanin.
Black tea may help fade dark spots, according to a guinea pig research; however, no human trials have examined this claim. For this home cure, steep two hours of black tea leaves in two cups of boiling distilled water. Strain the liquid and use a cotton ball to apply it to your face once a day.
Even if these treatments are all-natural, it’s still a good idea to do a skin test beforehand to see how your skin will respond.
Tags on the skin
Minor growths on the skin that are not carcinogenic are called skin tags, according to the Mayo Clinic. Typically, they take the form of small, flesh-colored protrusions that are held to the skin’s surface by a thin stalk. The base’s size, color, texture, and breadth are all subject to change.
Though it’s best to remove skin tags under a doctor’s supervision, the procedure is really rather straightforward and frequently produces good results.
On the other hand, you may attempt several at-home natural cures.
One option for removing skin tags is tea tree oil, which has antiviral and antibacterial qualities. Before using, dilute the oil by adding a few drops to a carrier oil like coconut, jojoba, or olive oil; the recommended ratio is one or two drops of tea tree oil to one teaspoon of carrier oil. Apply a little massage with the mixture to the skin tag in the evening, and then cover it with a bandage for the night. Keep going till the bug bites no more.
Using a cryogenic material to freeze and kill the tissue, at-home freezing kits may eradicate skin tags. Read the directions carefully before using it. The healthy skin around the afflicted region should not be applied with it.
