Hi..

It looks like the skin is burned with garlic leading to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation..
The black spots seems to be due to it..

So in case if the face has burnt recently and the spots are still sore then for now you should apply ice packs to reduce soreness..

In case if it is a considerable time then you can start applying Kojic acid containing ointment over it.
Scrub twice a week using a face scrub.
Apply aloevear gel and gently massage regularly .
Always apply sunscreen lotion when going out,
Take a Vitamin C candy daily..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
