HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern of course this could be due to the infection and drug therapy, but this is nothing to worry your problem will be fine after the completion of course of therapy, TB is such infection that could interfere with every system of body, but this comes under the control with the antitb drugs, if your skin affected with this then this is not be worried at all this will get alright for sure do not stop the medicine, hope this information helps you take care and have nice day.
