I'm taking fluconazole tablets, specifically Fluka 150mg, once a week for three months to deal with my acne. I'm worried, could this medication cause any side effects for me? If there are any I should know about, please tell me.

Fluconazole is of no use to u dear Acne at your age are very common. Don't worry regarding the same. Start applying clindamycin cream in the day and benzoyl peroxide in the evening for the same along with doxycycline capsules 100 mg twice daily and you will be all fine within 10 days.
