Itchy areas on legs, black bruises. Blood work shows wbc tad off. Allergic to penicillin. Should i take more blood tests?
Patient: Random itchy areas on my legs, it's a new area every day. I do not scratch it hard or apply too much pressure but I keep waking up with huge purple and black bruises on my legs. I had blood work done once and it said my wbc was a tad off. Could this have something to do with it? I also do not like meat so I don't get too much iron. Could this affect that as well? The only allergy I have is penicillin, and amoxicillin. (As well as grass and lotion but I have done nothing different in the past 3 months that could cause a reaction from those two) Do you think I should get some up to date blood work as this has been occurring for a month or so? Thanks Becca Doctor: if you have drug allergies you can have other allergies any type of substance can cause allergy at any timeneed to go for blood serum tests for cause of allergy and treat accordinglytill you can use antiallergic tabs and local application of ointments
