I tried to remove a mole on my nose using garlic and it burnt my nose it's been 3 days now and the clear fluid that came out when my skin came off has created a clear yellowish 'barrier' I guess to avoid infection. But I don't know when this will heal and is my skin gonna go back to normal please help. I have the same on my forehead (less that 2 cm diameter on both) ..
