I'm trying to understand my CBC report. It says my RDW is high at 14.8. What does that mean? My MCV is 86.1, and my WBC count is 6800. Are these levels normal? I'm a bit worried about the high RDW. What could be causing this?

Treating Fungal Infection with Candid-B Cream and Zole-F Cream

Using Both Creams:

  1. Not recommended: Mixing Candid-B Cream and Zole-F Cream is not advised, as it may increase the risk of:
    • Skin irritation
    • Allergic reactions
    • Reduced efficacy
  2. Alternating creams: Instead, consider applying one cream in the morning and the other at night.

Single Cream Application:

  1. Start with one cream: Begin with either Candid-B Cream or Zole-F Cream, and use it for 2-3 weeks to assess its effectiveness.
  2. Monitor progress: If you don't see improvement, consider switching to the other cream.

Precautions:

  1. Consult a doctor: Before starting any new treatment, consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
  2. Follow instructions: Use the creams as directed, and avoid overusing or sharing them.
  3. Maintain hygiene: Keep the affected area clean and dry to prevent the fungal infection from spreading.

Remember, it's essential to consult a doctor before starting any new treatment, especially if you've already tried other medications without success.

I'm trying to understand my blood test results and I'm a bit confused about some of the terms. It mentions that my RBC is normocytic normochromic with mild anisopoikilocytosis and that my WBC has a lymphocytic predominance with mild eosinophilia. The report also says that my platelets are adequate on the smear. Could you help explain what this all means? I'm feeling a bit worried about these findings.

I'm really worried because my monocytes are still absent in my latest CBC results, just like last summer. The only weird thing in the test is that there's no monocytes. My report shows Neutrophils at 50, Lymphocytes at 49, Monocytes at 0, and Eosinophils at 1. Should I be concerned about monocytes being zero? It's making me quite anxious. What could this mean?

The normal values of monocyte count in the body can range from 0 - 10% of the total number of WBC in your body. Therefore, a monocyte count of 0 is still considered normal and is not a cause for concern.
