I've got an ESR level of 26 mm and my white blood cell count is 11,400, which I heard is 400 more than normal. I've also been battling acne, hair fall, and dandruff lately. Plus, my wisdom tooth's gum is a bit swollen. Could this swelling be causing my high ESR? I'm really concerned about all these symptoms.

Wisdom tooth gum swelling and a potential gum infection could contribute to your elevated ESR and WBC count. Its important to address the gum issue with a dentist and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation of your blood results and other symptoms.

I occasionally get rashes in my private areas, and this time they are really itchy. Could you let me know what might be going on and what I can do about it?

I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to help the medication work effectively.
