Yes. Dr. Andrew Weil actually recommends using bloodroot to remove skin tags ...Handle with care though. Turns out it can be poisonous if digested. Here's the rest of what he had to say ...
"One alternative to these procedures that I can suggest is using bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis), a small woodland herb that grows in the north central United States and Canada. The red juice from the root is poisonous when taken internally, but used externally has a unique ability to dissolve abnormal growth without disturbing normal tissue. You can buy bloodroot in powdered form or as a paste, apply it to the growth you want to remove and then cover with a bandage. Be sure to follow package directions carefully and use bloodroot with caution."
