I have a low platelet count as well as low iron and small red blood cells. Theyve ruled out thalessemia, but are still doing more blood tests. About 5 weeks ago I developed a red, itchy, scaly rash on my chest. Can this be a new symptom? Of what? I am 54, female, and, other than depression, in fairly good health.
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your he and RBC is low. You should go for peripherals smear examination once and serum iron and ferritin level.  Take iron therapy according to the results.  For you platelets you need to concern.  If it develops rashes then you should repeat your platelets count. If you have any signs of bleeding then consult your doctor urgently. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
