Applied Garlic To Get Rid Of A Beauty Spot On My Face And The Skin Has Gotten Irritated After This
Hi. I applied garlic to get rid of a beauty spot on my face. I rubbed a bit and put a band aid on it for 4 hours. The skin around the beauty spot has gotten irritated and a light layer of skin is taken off. What happened? What can I do to help? How long will it take to heal?

Hi,
Do not try this type of experiment on important part of body like face.
Due to application of garlic there might be skin irritation producing this problem.
Clean the part with plane water and apply Caladryl or some moisturizing lotion or cream.
If require apply antibiotic cream if redness or swelling is there.
Ok and take care.
