Garlic burn

2017-07-28 04:28:40
I crushed few garlic cloves and applied the paste on a pimple and area around it overnight. I woke up with burns in the morning. It was black loose skin which turned into boils/inflammation now. I washed off the garlic in the morning and applied silver sulphide cream. Should I visit a doctor?

Yes garlic can cause irritant burns. If it is not treated now, it may leave marks and scars. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
