Noticed Black Patches On Skin After The Application Of Garlic Paste
I applied garlic paste on my face long back. It resulted in horrible black patches on my face. I still have them. Can I get the best remedy to cure those black spots naturally in home or just recommend a soap for me to use on face. Is dermadew acne advisable or keto?

Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Seems that you have developed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after irritation to the home remedy (garlic paste) that you used.
If I was your treating doctor I would have advised you to protect it from the sun so as to prevent further darkening. For that you could use a broad spectrum sunscreen, throughout the day.
I would suggest you to use elocon cream(mometsone cream) just once daily at night only over the spot.
