Could Red Rashes On Body Be Recurred Skin TB?
Hi I was on AK T4 and AK T3 medications 4 years back due to treatment of skin tb..completed the doses as mentioned by the doctor then. Got completely cured and didnt have any recurrence in past 4 years. However 4 months back have noticed red rashes and skin problems bit similar to teh previous ones. took antibiotics but not getting healed throughout. am worried now could the TB has recurred again even after completing the doses before? the doctor told that it shouldn t be occuring again but am very worried.Doctor told that it might be a different skin problem but am not convinced. am seeing an infection specialist again for this. please help and suggest what should be done?

if you completed your full course of medication then there is very little chance of you getting the disease again.but do trh to find out whether there are any family members or close contacts who are having tuberculosis in recent period?if yes then you do need to consult a specialist for your condition
