Hi,
It seems that you have post inflammatory hypermelanosis following irritant contact dermatitis due to garlic. Never use such irritating methods to cure the lesions anywhere on the body. Now, you have only pigmentation. Keep patience. Apply kojic acid containing gel on the patches. And cleanse the face with face wash containing glycolic and kojic acids. Take glutathion and vitamin C tablets for long time. You may feel better after few weeks. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
