Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dr, I am 30yrs old female. I had molluscum on my face over 6 months got from my 4yrs old daughter. I put raw garlic on my molluscum 3days ago only for just 15 minutes with a wish that garlic will reduce the molluscum I had. But It burns? my face. Now I have burn mark with those horrible molluscums. How I get rid of the burn mark as fast as possible?
Molluscum Contagiosum on face is a viral infection and can be spread very easily by skin contact as you got it from your daughter. Best treatment for Molluscum Contagiosum is not to touch it and it will resolve it self after 6-7 months. Now as you have applied garlic over it and it burnt the skin reason behind is garlic is very good if used in small quantities for lesser interval of time but you must have applied it repeatedly.
Now i would suggest you take a cotton swab and soak it in benzyl peroxide or potassium hydroxide and apply over face once or twice a day. Use very less amount of Hydrogen peroxide.
Apple Cider Vinegar solution is very effective for this. Avoid excessive exposure to sun light as that will exaggerate itching over that area. Your can apply your urine after soaking in cotton swab as that is best natural way of removing burnt areas of face.
If your symptoms keeps on persisting you can visit dermatologist for this as many small procedures such as cryotherpay, diathermy , curettage are effective for this.
Donot squeeze or touch spots again and again as they will cause scarring in that area.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
