What Causes Itchy Skin While EOS Is 9 And Neutrophil Is 38?
Hello, I have had itchy, prickly, sensitive skin for almost 4 months. Dermatologist said it is not dry skin. Allergist said he not sure but it looks like I am having a reaction to something. He prescribed a antihistamine. My blood work shows normal ranges for what they tested me, except my Eos was 9 and my neutrophils was 38.

Well come to HCM
Here the chances of hypersensitivity reaction is likely and this could be difficult to find out the causative factor, but condition comes around even without the medicine in very rare condition this could need anti histamine, to confirm the exact eosinophilia absolute count of this is must, condition could be idiopathic, thank
