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?

Hey, I've got this wound on my face and it's starting to heal, but now the skin's turned pink. Should I be doing something specific to treat it, or will it just heal on its own naturally? I'm kind of curious and a bit worried about it.

The pink color skin around the healed wound is a normal part of the healing process; with time, it should fade naturally, but to promote faster skin tone evenness, consider using topical treatments like silicone gel or sheeting, vitamin E oil, or aloe vera gel, and protect the area from sun exposure using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ to prevent hyperpigmentation.
