Hb of 9.8 indicates anemia, possibly nutritional. Yellowish skin may suggest bilirubin elevation or B12 deficiency. Weight loss and low Hb requires urgent nutritional and metabolic workup. Start with iron, B12, and folate-rich diet.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a FERRITIN Test

I have been experiencing skin loss in the middle region of my tongue for over 1.5 years. I have already taken several vitamin supplements, including B12, and my blood tests appear normal. I am not diabetic. I am highly sensitive to spicy foods, which causes loosening of the upper palate area. I also experience dry mouth at night and occasionally remove candida growth using a soft brush. Could this be atrophic glossitis?

Can one still be iron deficient if his/her hemoglobin is 13.8?

I am a 22 year old male suffering from hormonal acne. My blood report shows RBC count 6.71 (high), MCV 72.3 (low), MCH 22.8 (low), RDW-CV 18.4 (high), and the remaining blood report is normal. Which strength of isotretinoin should I use? Please prescribe the dosage.
