Applied Raw Garlic On My Face For Acne. Now Have Pain And Rashes. Is This Going To Stay Forever?

Hi Dr
Hope you are doing well. I put on raw garlic on my a small part of my face yesterday (on my acne) and I left it for 15 mintues. And afetr couple of hours I felt pain and I got rashes on my skin. I was wondering if the redness of my skin is going to be there forever or its going to go away gradually? And what do you suggest me to do?

Thanks

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Simple redness is likely to disappear in a day or two...
Longer, if infiltrated or infected...but it will go!
Over the Counter anti-histamine tablet for a day or two will be useful...
Don’t scratch or meddle / simple soothening lotion like calamine may help

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
