I have noticed some solid lumps below my tongue. I went for blood tests for CBP and ESR, and the results are: Hemoglobin: 17.8 RBC count: 5.73 Hematocrit: 49.2 MCV: 86.0 MCH: 31.1 MCHC: 36.2 RDW: 11.3 Platelets: 2.91 TLC: 6500 ESR: 6.0 My hemoglobin, RBC, MCHC, and RDW are above the expected range. Could this cause any problems? Please suggest what I should do.

Slightly raised red blood parameters often point to dehydration or smoking effect. If no symptoms, no need to worry. Oral lumps need a dental/ENT review.

What does it mean when your red blood cells are enlarged?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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.
