My husband was diagnosed with TB in his lungs some years back. He is now twenty-two years old and has been getting a rash that looks similar to hives and has had a cough for about two weeks now. The first rash he had was two years ago that lasted for about a month, the second was months ago (this was the worst one so far) and the third started three weeks ago. The rash with come and go and pop up in different locations. I find it odd. He is getting a chest x-ray next week, but I was curious to find out if it could be his TB coming back. I am beginning to get the same rash on my arm. I ve never gotten it when he s had his break outs.
Your husband may be having chronic urticaria most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. It may be idiopathic or may be due to some cause.
TB might cause the rash.So he must be treated properly for the TB. Some other cause may be found after thorough examination and investigations. Your rash may also be urticaria. You just consult the dermatologist.
