YES
A small but elongated skin tag on my upper chest was annoying me and I kept fiddling with it. It had broken off before some years ago but gradually regrew. I have successfully removed seborrheic keratoses and small warts with rosemary oil so I thought I would try it on the skin tag. I applied it with a finger once a day, and after a week it turned black and crusty. I stopped the oil for a week but the tag turned a nice healthy pink again so I resumed the rosemary oil. It took two weeks but it did eventually turn black and fall off, leaving no trace behind. I did have to scratch at it with a thumbnail to get the oil to penetrate and I did keep the area very clean. One word of warning be careful to apply the rosemary just to the tag otherwise the skin around it can get irritated.

A small wart on my outer wrist started to annoy me by itching. It did not have a very well defined head and was not very warty but it had been there some months. Having successfully removed a keratosis from my face with rosemary oil I thought I would try it on the wart. I dabbed it on neat with a finger once or twice a day. Its appearance slowly changed, becoming crusty. After ten days I picked it and it came off leaving healthy skin beneath. It has not returned three months later. However I tried the same remedy on a similar wart on the back of my hand without success. After about fourteen days the skin around it became red and inflamed so I stopped using rosemary oil. Once the skin had calmed down I sprayed with colloidal silver qv daily and that wart too has now died after a week.
