I'm a 39-year-old woman and had my gallbladder removed about a year ago. Six months later, I started getting pimples and marks on my skin, which I've never dealt with before. My skin is pretty fair, and I've tried using some products like sebeam soap, cleargel, and epiduo, as recommended by a dermatologist. It's been three weeks, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What's going on, and what else can I do to clear these up?

I'm taking terbest 250mg every day for a fungal infection that's mainly on the skin of my scrotum, inside the foreskin, and on the head of my private part. There are also some tiny rashes. I've noticed that the terbest is starting to work, but I'm wondering how many days I should keep taking it?
