After applying garlic and yogurt I rubbed a bit now that pimple area became black

It may be just post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. Skin will produce excess amounts of melamine to heal or protect itself. Don’t worry and continue using the remedy.
How much time to get rid if the scar if I rubbed it on my face (just garlic nothing else ) I need to get rid off it in 7 days does it work ??
It is a little difficult to tell the exact time as everyone’s problem and healing capacity is different. The sulfur, allicin and other beneficial ingredients slowly reduce the discoloration. Don’t apply garlic more than 5 minutes. Garlic removes oil and dries out the skin so after each garlic treatment, apply aloe vera to hydrate the skin. Apart from that exfoliate regularly and drink plenty of water. Include garlic in your daily diet to boost your immune system and improve your healing power.

Yes you can consume 3 garlic cloves per a day. If you feel body heat, drink coconut water or buttermilk.

You can make the paste and store in refrigerator for few days not more than a week. But freshly made paste can be much effective.

Leaving garlic on skin overnight or for longer periods of time can lead to skin burn. So it is better to rinse off after a while.

Use garlic in my ear infection ganth by wearing bali
I used option #7, process 1, because that is what I had on hand at home and Aloe Vera reduces the inflammation, irritation and redness and stimulates healthy growth of skin cells as the author stated. Afterwards, I applied a microdermabrasion scrub from Derma E Essentials and then did some acne extraction. I know that extraction is not recommended, but I’ve had a few pimples and blackheads that have lasted on my face and became very hard for a very long time. I was able to remove many of the long time acne marks after the first application of option #7.
I did find that my hands and face smelled of garlic, so I applied lemon to my hands (not my face yet) to get rid of the garlic smell. Be sure to wash or rinse your hands and face afterwards so it does not dry out your skin.
At some point, I may use the Garlic and Egg White mixture since the author mentioned that it is rich in proteins and nutrients which skin needs to stay healthy, and when applied as a mask, it shrinks pores and dries out excess oil to prevent infection.
I do also like options 6, 8 and 11 and will experiment to see which does best for my normal to dry skin.
