garlic for painful pimple?

Recently i have given up one of my trusted pimple creams because it has anti-bio tics.
As a result i need to venture out to find a new thing to get rid of my painful/untouchable pimples.

Well i just had one recently, and last night i tried garlic on it.
What i did was peeled a clove of garlic and sliced in half. And only apply the little it amount onto the pimple (only on the pimple).

In the next hour there was a burning sensation in around the area and it was red about 5cm diameter wide. Today morning the area where i applied the garlic is really dry almost feels like a rash. The upside is there is hardly any redness.
The pimples feels dried out by today morning but the area is really dry, almost unhealthy dry. I have really oily skin so its not often that i find a product that dry out my skin.

I wound NOT recommend this trick to ANYONE. Simply for the fact that its soo drying and the after effect. This is definitely not for sensitive skin, or even normal skin. However if there is anyone out there who is willing to try, i would recommend run the garlic down with some warm water to reduce the concentration. And following it up with a really good moisturizer. Also ONLY APPLY IT ON THE PIMPLE (NOT THE AREA AROUND IT).
