Answered by Apollo Doctors

My scalp is very itchy at times. I have attached my blood test report, which shows an ESR of 32. The doctor examined me and diagnosed a possible scalp fungal infection, prescribing medication. However, the itching has not improved. Could you please advise what might be causing this and what should be done next?

I had COVID a few months ago and tested negative after 14 days. Today, I received my COVID vaccination, as 3 months had passed since recovery. I have been experiencing chest pain in the upper and middle areas, and my doctor said it is likely muscular. He also took a blood sample for a CBC test. I am attaching my report for review. My ESR is 22 mm/hr (normal range 0 to 20). Is this concerning?
