a burn. please answer :( +photo

:( as stupid as i am i had a small pimple on the upper side of my breast and i put on a cotton soaked with ethanol with propolis on it but it covered a larger area than the pimple. i left it like that doing other stuff and later when i took it off it was brownish i started rubbing it with what not shocked and the brownish part peeled of even bigger-the size of my thumb nail.. When the upper part peeled a white part showed under it. Now it is like a wound and there is a difference between the level of my skin and the deepness of the wound.
This happened 2 days ago.

My questions are:
1. Will it heal as my skin was before, without any difference or will this deepness stay like this like a whole in my skin?
2. Will it loose pigmentation?
3. Should I put on it  Nivea cream or leave it like this dry?

Please answer me :( I know what I did was stupid and won't ever do it again.

Hello,
The skin has wounded and the white skin is due to the granulation tissue. Apply Neosporin ointment and topical antiseptics and avoid messing with it. You  can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the wound persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
