Hi,

Among the tablets prescribed Clomiphene citrate is the drug which increases the testosterone which in turn improve the low sperm count in males. Acne is one of the side effect of the drug, other side effects are chest tenderness, irritability, etc. Other tablets are nutrient supplement to promote general condition which helps to increase the sperm count. Antibiotic topical ointment can be helpful to get rid of acne. Do not break the acne rash and spread the infection. Visit the dermatologist for further evaluation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
