Never heard of it and will not suggest using it. Garlic is very irritating to skin.
Welcome to DermaTalk Zeena, Garlic is thought to have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects , so as a result it might help to some extent in reducing acne if you strictly apply only to the bumps. But is can also cause severe irritant contact dermatitis resulting in chemical burn in the skin. This chemical burn can cause pigmentation and scarring to the skin, so be very cautious if u are using garlic.
Yes once i used garlic in my acne and it burned like hell, next day i had redness and pigmentation lasted for years. Be cautious while using such remedies.
