Blood test, eczema

Hello,
I am bit concerned of my blood test results. I was suggested to do a blood test because of the eczema for IgE result. However, I found out that following components aren't in the scale of norms.
RDW-SD 37,4 (39-53)
MPV 11,1 (7,4-10,4)
NEUT% 34,4 (50-70)
LYMPH 2,78 (1-2,50)
LYMPH% 47,40 (19-37)
MONO% 12,6 (3-10)
IgE 259,50 (0-100).

I was told that high IgE levels show allergic reaction, however I my biggest concern is related to higher LYMPH and lower NEUT counts. I  also have severe eczema, however even skin biopsy didin't  help dermatologist to understand the causes of the eczema or find the right cure. Should I go to hematologist instead of dermatologist and what can I expect with these blood results. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the answer. Well, I understand what you say, however my concern is that Lymph result is higher. I should admit that this component is higher for a few years, however no one paid any attention to this. So, it is a chronic condition of my blood. Searched for the cause of eczema, now afraid of blood disease, especially limphomas and etc.

There really is no reason to seek out a hematologist unless you want a better explanation on what your results mean. A dermatologist would recognize any abnormalities that required further attention, and even if he came across something he was unsure about he would either recommend you to another specialist or seek out a medical consult himself. I am by no means a dermatologist but I do know the elevated IgE labs are normal for an allergic reation, and your elevated WBC count or LYMPH if you will can be a reaction to that as well. Because it is something foreign to your body it does its natural response and sends white blood cells to fight. If you wait for this rash to clear up and then retake the labs I am sure you will see much more normal Labs.
