Garlic burn
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?
