I'm really worried about using Colgate Advanced Toothpaste on my pimples. I put it on two spots: one above my lips and one in the center of my forehead. It seemed okay the first two times, but the third time I left it on overnight and woke up with two dark brown scars. I was able to peel most of the scar on my forehead, but now there's an acne and some light pink skin around it. What's going on? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
