6 Tips That Can Help Against Acrochordons

The anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects of pineapple juice can help eliminate acrochordons and prevent them from forming on other skin areas.

Acrochordons or skin appendages are small growths of the skin that often appear on the neck, arms, eyelids or other parts of the body.

This is caused by an  accumulation of collagen on thicker skin areas,  but acrochordons can probably also be created by friction.

Even if these skin extensions do not pose a health risk, they are sometimes very annoying and irritable or can simply be injured.

Many also want to get rid of the acrochordons because they don’t  necessarily look beautiful, which of course also depends on where exactly they are. 

It is not absolutely necessary to initiate expensive treatments to achieve this goal.

Various natural agents could  destroy the tissues of the appendages without harming the surrounding skin. Read on to find out more!
