Do these blood test results mean I might have an infection?

I’ve had my recent blood test results back (I have them fairly regularly due to some medication I’m on for a skin condition). My white cell count is very slightly up and my skin is quite sore and weepy in places at the moment. Does this indicate it might be infected rather than just inflamed?

I’m seeing the nurse next week so will ask then too.

The crp
Us slightly up but that could be Bernal for you. The WVC is a little up yes and could indicate infection depending in the clinical setting ie are you on steroids? What are the neutrophils? What are they usually? Are you unwell with fevers etc

Crp could be normal for you

And you look to be a bit anaemic with your haemoglobin being low.

Yes my heamoglobin is low it’s the result of the medication I’m on, it’s actually quite good for me at the moment it had dropped to 92.

White cells are elevated. Are you on steroids?
