A member asked:
Can my cystic acne raise my wbc to 14.57 ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If your acne is severe enough to cause larger abscesses or get into your blood stream (very rare), then it could easily raise your WBC to those levels. If you are having fever, chills, and this elevated WBC I do recommend you see a physician to repeat the lab testing or find out if there is a different source/get treatment. www.bmednyc.com
