Resources For Cutaneous Tuberculosis Treatment

Where can I find a list of doctors and treatment centers in the United States that deal with cases of cutaneous tuberculosis and mycobacterium? My dad is having difficulty with only oral treatment and it is primarily manifesting in his skin and joints . Any information on centers or specialists is welcome.
