Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Seems you developed pigmentation following irritant dermatitis to garlic application on face.
Use a gentle cleanser twice daily.
If i were your treating doctor i would have asked you to apply a moderately potent steroid like fluticasone twice daily for 2-3 weeks.
An oral Vit C also helps to get rid of pigmentation.
Use a broad spectrum sunscreen throughout the day to prevent the sun from darkening it further.
take care
regards
