I had acne in my school days which got treated and cured but after five years I started having acne again. In the beginning it was one or two but later it got worse with black spots. The acne I get are small bumps and sometimes pus filled but not painful yet they leave marks and scars. My blood report shows neutrophils 78 percent. I also have a family history of acne. I have been using many products like serums vitamin C and niacinamide but they make my skin sensitive. What can be the cause?

Adult acne can return due to hormones, stress, or even skin sensitivity to products. Family history plays a role. Avoid oily food and junk which can aggregate acne. Avoid harsh serums, and try a mild routine. A dermatologist can guide better.

I have a nil sperm count in my semen analysis test. What is the treatment, and is it curable or not? Please help me. I have attached my report.

As per my recent report, I have been advised that I have thyronormalcy. I would like to know if this is something to be concerned about. I have also noticed that I am gaining fat around my lower belly quite rapidly, and regular workouts do not seem to be helping. I also have a history of ovarian cysts. Do I need to consider any medical treatment, or should I continue with regular exercise and lifestyle changes?
