Hello,

I can understand your concern. It seems that the garlic you have applied on your face has given you bumps. Probably you should have avoided it or had applied it for less time than an hour.

The burning sensation and the red bumps of burns will heal in a few days and you do not require any medication for that. However, you can apply Burnol gel over the burning areas for faster healing and for relief from burning. You can also apply ice over the areas.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
