Can tb cause a rash?
My uncle, who has a history of TB, recently developed a strange rash on his chest. We're wondering if there's any connection. Is it possible for TB to cause skin rashes?

Yes, it can sometimes cause rashes, either because of the TB infection itself or as a side effect of the heavy medications.

Rashes usually happen due to the heavy dose of antibiotics. If your doctor allows and you have the strength, light walking and fresh air can help sweat out toxins and keep your mind off the itching. Just make sure you check with your physician before doing any physical activity.

Rashes are often a side effect of strong TB drugs rather than the disease itself. Eat clean, simple vegetarian food to keep your gut cool and reduce medication heat. But please do not change or stop your prescribed diet or medicine without consulting your doctor first.

Slightly unusual symptoms like a rash shouldn't be diagnosed on internet forums, as they can be due to allergic reactions. Don't try any home remedies or skin creams blindly. Go straight to a dermatologist or your general physician to confirm what is causing it.

Mere bache ko jab dawa chal rahi thi tab achanak skin pe rashes hone lage the, hum toh ghabra gaye the. Doctor ne bataya ki medicines ki vajah se allergic reaction ho sakta hai. Unhone dawa thodi change ki aur rash theek ho gaya, aap bhi turant doctor se baat kariye.
