Hi,
Secnidazole at high doses can cause decrease in sperm count but this effect is temporary and the count will restore after discontinuing the medication. Yet, you should visit a dermatologist for the spots diagnosis and proper treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
