Can lichen plantus affect white blood cell count? if so, in what ways?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe..: Lichen planus is an inflammatory skin disorder of unknown cause. As with most inflammations, it may be associated with an increase in WBC count especially if the skin or mucosal lesions get infected. On the other hand, corticosteroids that are often used for treatment can suppress WBC production
