Hello and welcome to HCM,
Thickening of blood and development of acne are most probably unrelated to each.
Complete blood counts and red cell parameters are required to look for polycythemia.
Polycythemia is characterized by raised red blood cells and high hemoglobin.
Acne need to be managed conservatively with antibiotics and sufficienct time should be given to allow the acne to heal.
Thanks and take care
