my 79 yr old father is swollen all over body..has about 40 lbs of fluid in last 2 months. his skin is red, itchy and scaley. wemt to hospital but all test came back ok. has to go to cancer center in morning because of white blood cell count high. have any idea what this is and what is going in?
Since your father has high white cell count, it might have a relationship to his skin condition. Many dermatological manifestations can occur when there is underlying hematological disorder. It is not necessary that it would be cancer, but many non cancer states can alter blood levels and cause skin problems too. Exact cause can be pointed out after investigations
