A member asked:

Can vulval dermatitis cause serum globulin to decrease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Vulval dermatitis is a local issue and usually has no systemic manifestations including changes in the level of globulin. I wonder if you do have changes in the globulin level and vulval lesions, the latter being a manifestation of another systemic disease and not vulval dermatitis per se.
