Can High Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) Cause Body Rashes?

My age is 55.I'm having rashes all over my body. Sometimes it increases and some time it decreases.But I am having the rashes from past 4-5 days. When shown to doctor, I was asked to take a blood test. In the boold test the ESR level was 26. Is this rashes due to the high ESR level or the problem can be something else.

Hello,

I don’t think the rashes are related to raised ESR. I would recommend you to consult a doctor and get it examined clinically.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
