What Causes Decrease In WBC With Persistent Rashes On Face?

Hi, my 9 year old son has a WBC of 3100 and ANC of 1100 steadily going down within the past month. He has a persistent rash on his face and itches alot. We have since seen a hematologist who did a CBC and told us that those numbers are good considering his ethnicity without doing further testing. Should I get a second opinion or is this normal?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. If you have persistent dropping wbc with some rashes then you should go for second time complete blood count. Check your platelets count also. You may have some viral infection. If not cured within few days then you should go for bone marrow examination. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
