I am experiencing skin rashes and whiteheads at various places on my body, accompanied by itching. I have tried the shampoo recommended by a dermatologist, but it has not helped. I am concerned this might be related to thyroid issues. Please advise what could be causing this and what tests or treatment I should consider.

Rashes and whiteheads with itching can be caused by allergy, fungal issues, or hormonal imbalance. If skin does not respond to shampoo or cream, it is important to check for thyroid or sugar problems, as these can affect the skin ability to heal. Vitamin deficiencies or scalp/skin infections may also be involved. Do a few blood tests and consult a dermatologist with reports.

Sir I have checked my blood report in which platelets is 100 only but my health condition is normal. I have no fever, no bone or joint pain, and no tiredness. I do not understand what problem is there with me and my report is attached with it. I am in Rajkiya Engineering College Sonbhadra and I am a student of B Tech first year so I do not know which doctors or hospital is good near me. My home is Varanasi but I want to consult myself in Sonbhadra near Robertsganj. So please help me. Thank you.

I weigh 52 kg and have a cough with mild fever. My report shows low platelet count and a high RSS value. What could be the cause of these symptoms? Please advise.

I received my routine blood test report, which shows an MPV of 13.6. Could you please advise if this requires any precautions or if there is anything to be concerned about? Regards, Upkar
