Can hidradenitis suppurativa cause a low white blood cell count?
Hidradenitis suppurativa is typically associated with a high white blood cell count, not a low one. The chronic inflammation from HS often causes your body to produce more white blood cells as part of your immune response.
If you're experiencing a low white blood cell count, it's more likely related to something else, such as:
* Medications you're taking (some HS treatments can affect blood cell counts)
* Another underlying condition
* A separate infection or immune system issue
It's important to discuss any abnormal blood test results with your doctor. They can help determine what's causing the low count and whether any adjustments to your HS treatment plan are needed.
