General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Do not apply garlic on pimple mark.
You can use
1.     Retinoic acid 0.05% cream
2.     Elovera cream (alovera based cream)
How to use??
Mix equal amount of these two creams on your palm, mix well, apply very gently on your face at bed time. Do not rub while applying and apply a very thin layer (small amount). Remember; mix only whilst ready to apply. Store both creams separately.
Retinoic acid makes you skin sensitive to sunlight. So use Spectraban sensitive sunscreen cream before exposure to sunlight. You can use other over the counter sunscreen available in the market.
You can use above creams for 6 months.
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
