[|Human|] I have been diagnosed with granuloma annulare through a biopsy. I have had a history of low white blood count and it seems to get lower each year. Could these two symptoms be related to something more? I have an appointment to see a hematologist at the recommendation of my doctor. Do you think that s over kill?
[|AI|]  Hello, Granuloma Annular has no connection with your WBC count. Sometimes granuloma annular is associated with autoimmune diseases like Systemic lupus erythematous (SHE), and SHE is associated with neutropenia that is decreased WBC count. SLE if positive is diagnosed by simple serum markers like antics DNA OR Anti-nuclear antibodies. My suggestion is, please consult a general physician for more information. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
