Hi,

Burning of skin due to garlic can occur especially if the skin is already sensitive due to pimples or any other causes. Oozing of fluids can be due to inflammatory fluid from burnt and inflamed skin. Change in colour is due to inflammation and burning. So my suggestion is to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation can be done.

You can be advised a combination of anti inflammatory and antibiotic ointment for reducing inflammation and avoiding infection.
For now wash the burnt area with cold water and keep it clean. Also, apply a combination of Steroid and antibiotic ointment like Soframycin over it. Apply cold Aloevera gel over it to soothe the skin. Keep the area lubricated by applying Moisturizer.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora, Dentist
