Try a tooth brush!: Joking about the toothbrush but you might want to try a proven dermatologic method for treating acne. The method you suggest implies that we can try to use products designed for other uses to problems that occur in different areas of our body. You can set up a host of inflammation and foreign body reactions by taking the advice of internet cosmetic advice.

Be patient: You have a chemical burn. You need to keep the site clean and moisturized over the next week or so & it will gradually improve. NEVER put toothpaste on your facial skin for any reason in the future.
