Patient's question:
Medical Description: On July 23, 2010, skin itching occurred, followed by the appearance of rashes. They started on the calves, thighs, forearms, and upper arms, gradually spreading to the rest of the body.History of Treatment and Effects: Received intravenous fluids for six days, which improved the rashes but the itching persisted. Currently, bruises have appeared on the thighs. A complete blood count test was done, with six items showing abnormalities.
Desired Help: What is wrong with the skin? How to relieve the itching? Explanation of the complete blood count results.
Doctor's answer:
Abnormal blood tests are mainly seen in anemia, elevated or decreased white blood cells, or abnormal platelets. Due to the incomplete medical history provided and the absence of lab results, it is not possible to determine the specific issue. It is recommended to upload lab results for further evaluation or visit a regular hospital for a recheck.There are many specific sub-items in a complete blood count (CBC), and it is necessary to identify which specific item is problematic. If white blood cells are elevated, infection should be considered. If there is anemia, the type of anemia needs to be determined. Additionally, platelet issues should be addressed. It is recommended to check where the specific abnormality lies.
