Irritant contact dermatitis, steroid antibiotic combination cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Healthcaremagic ..

You have developed an irritant contact dermatitis to garlic.
Avoid using soap on the affected area, wash with only plain water till it heals and avoid direct sunlight.

Besides this I recommend my patients to apply steroid antibiotic combination like Mometasone furoate and fusidic acid combination cream on the burnt area twice daily for 7-10 days and take antihistaminic like Tablet Chlorpheniramine 4 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching and irritation.

Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Regards
Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
Management of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and can appreciate the dark mark as well as your blemishes.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a cream containing combination of tretinoin, hydroquinone and mometasone on the black spots at night in minute amounts and apply a high spf sunscreen gel during the day time at intervals of 3-4 hours.
Also for blemishes I recommend my patients to take tablet tranxaemic acid 250 mg twice daily for 3-4 months.
Your black spot will take atleast 3-4 weeks to diappear.
All these are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
