I am 28 years female, i suddenly got too many acne all over my face , doctor advised some blood tests, i have done an ESR test 2days before. It says 48mm.. but it should be 20mm in woman.. is it harmful
Hello ESR test is erythrocyte sedimentation rate and a high ESR commonly is seen in cases of allergy or worm infestation or chronic illnesses like Tuberculosis etc. But it is not a very specific test or diagnostic test all alone.it helps in the diagnosis in addition to other testsDepending on your history of illness, your clinical examination and the blood tests your doctor will come to a conclusion and start treatment or investigate further if required. Hope I have answered your query. Thanks
