However, garlic is very irritating and if used improperly, it may cause skin burns. It is not clear how to solve this problem. So, how to deal with skin burns caused by garlic application? Let’s take a look at the method below.

Garlic is a food that can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. Many people like to use it to help themselves do things in their daily lives. For example, it can be used to treat minor colds or as a folk remedy to treat abdominal pain. However, sometimes due to improper usage, it is easy for patients to accidentally suffer garlic burns.

So how should you treat a garlic burn? How to correctly treat garlic burns? What medicine should be applied for garlic burns? If we want to treat garlic burns, we should first know what causes garlic burns. In fact, garlic burns are mainly caused by the allicin contained in garlic, which strongly stimulates human skin.
