Recurring Itchy, Swollen Rashes. Blood Test Shows ESR 28 And Eosinophils Count 8. Allergy?
Hi,
I have rashes keep coming with itching and sometimes swelled rashes also.
I got my blood tested. I have high ESR of 28 and eosinophils count of 8.
Please suggest me what can be the problem. Is it some infection?
Also sometimes while I put my foot on the ground, I feel pain.
Is it only some kind of allergic infection or do I have lymphosite also?
Regards,
BG

Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic
It seems like you have an allergic rash called urticaria. ESR of 28 is alright. Eosinophils can increase to 8 in an allergic situation including urticaria. Usually urticaria is caused by a particular food that you ate, or medicines, or infection, intestinal worms, insect bites etc
Kindly consult a dermatologist and start taking antihistamines. He will help you in identifying the trigger
Hope this helped
Take care
