Brief Answer:
Indicative of some skin allergy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Raised eosinophil count (7) is might be indicative of allergy like some skin allergy (even cough or sneezing) or some parasitic infestations which can also lead to raised eosinophil.

Here,in case of your daughter it could be due to some skin problem,so you have received slightly elevated eosinophil count but there is no need to be worried.

It is not the serious problem.

The photograph you have attached is not the blood report,so kindly send me that if possible.Also let me know what skin specialist has prescribed and what was the diagnosis.

So,Kindly get back to me with that information.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip Kabra
