Hi dear. I am your physician, have gone through your case very carefully and I have vast experience in such cases as yours. In my expert opinion its normal sequelle of the disease process. It takes almost 3,4 weeks if you are not allergic to garlic. But it may take little bit longer if your skin is allergic to garlic. The treatment you are taking looks good. Keep with it.
Have a nice time and get well soon.
