Question

Mathew A. Plant, MD, FRCSC · Answer

You should see a doctor or go to the emergency room ASAP to be examined and have your burn treated as soon as possible to avoid worse scarring.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I have seen and treated many of these garlic burn scars. I would first apply Ceralase cream to the wound followed by Melarase creams to help even out the color difference. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
