I'm having some trouble with my skin, specifically because of frozen chicken. Back in my home country, I never had any issues with eating chicken, but here, whenever I eat the frozen chicken, I get these acne breakouts on my face. They're painful and usually leave these black marks after they heal. I've noticed that when I eat fresh chicken from the market, my skin seems fine. I can try to avoid the frozen chicken, but I'm worried because there are still some face bumps that have been around for days, and I also have some old black scars. What can I do about these leftover marks and bumps?

I'm trying to figure out whether it's more effective to take fluconazole once a week at 150 mg or daily at 50 mg. Also, is oral terbinafine a better option than fluconazole? What are your thoughts?

If you're treating vaginal yeast infections or oral thrush, fluconazole (either 150 mg once a week or 50 mg daily) would likely be a better choice. If you're dealing with skin or nail infections caused by dermatophytes (e.g., athlete's foot, ringworm, or fungal nail infections), terbinafine would likely be the more effective option. Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment based on your specific condition
