What Is The Remedy For The Burns On My Face Caused By Garlic Slices?
I put some slice of garlic on my face last night to cure some acne scars, and I talked phone with my friend for more than 10mns. Then when I washed my face, I fell hot on my face. When I woke up this morning, I saw my face became burn and wilt. So what can I do to relief those burns on my face?

Hi
You seem to have developed superficial skin burns.
Now the most important thing is to prevent any infection over the area. Keep the affected area clean and dry.
Apply a topical antibiotic cream over the lesions.
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it.
Take some oral antihistamine to decrease the associated allergic reaction.
Hope it helps
