A member asked:
Would you be able to see evidence of a small infection, for instance, an infected blister or pimple, in a blood work up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: It is a very localised infection with a minimal body response. So typically blooc counts do not get affected, unlkess the pimple is part of some underlying prolem.
