I recently moved to a hilly region. For the past 4 days, I have developed large red rashes mostly on my limbs and some on my stomach. Initially red, some rashes developed pus, and after 2 days, some turned magenta, especially after wearing jeans all day. In my locality, there are many insects, including large mosquitoes. My blood test report shows: Hemoglobin: 14.7 Polymorphs (Poly): 72 Lymphocytes: 21 ESR: 10 Other parameters: Normal Please advise what might be causing these rashes and the next steps or treatment.

Likely allergic or insect bite reaction. No sign of serious infection in CBC. Consult dermatologist if rash worsens or spreads.

Question

I have been experiencing a mild fever for the past 15 days. I have also lost my appetite and am barely able to eat 3 to 4 chapatis a day. I have done a blood test, and I am attaching the report.

Question

What happens if the total WBC (TC) is elevated?

I am 37 years old and have had irregular periods for the past two years. Once my periods start they do not stop for 15 days. My report shows 12 mm endometrium thickness and a bulky uterus. I am now on the 13th day of bleeding. I have been prescribed Musli Kairadi Kashayam with Prawal Bhasma before food and Kutajarishtam 15 ml after food. Is it fine to take?
