What Causes Scars On Body And Wbc Count Of 2000 Suggest?
My little sister has lost about 40lbs, she gets hives of some type all over her body that swell up and pop but they disappear the next day leaving scars. She has a white blood cell count of 2000, docs just did bone marrow biopsy, waiting for results. She also has a very sore neck and her lower back hurts all the time. Could this be lukemia or multiple things?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Her immunity is reduced due to low WBC counts
2. This has led to multiple infections involving skin, which heal with scars.
3. Low possibility of leukemia, bone marrow biopsy could help in further diagnosis.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
