[|Human|] Hi Doctor,I was diagonised with TB before 2 months and I am using Forecox tablets from the past 50 days.For the first few days it was fine. But now, i got rashes and skin infection(fungal) on thighs and itching is unbearable as i could not sleep because of that.Iam not sure whether to stop forecox or take additional medicine for skin infection. Currently i am using ketoconazole lotion which i feel is not helpful to me.Could you please suggest?Regards,Sai
[|AI|]  Hi, I can understand your concern for itchy rashes and skin infection after taking forecox for TB. There can be multiple possibilities of your concern, but I can make a possibility of Allergic dermatitis: In this condition there are eruptions along with moderate itching and in more aggravated cases there is appearance of more redness. In this condition a thorough history of contact allergens are to be taken and accordingly a specific diagnostic technique known as patch test is to be undertaken. It may or may not be due medicines of tuberculosis. You must report this problem to your treating doctor. Do not stop the medicines from your side. The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them otherwise it can get infected and can cause complications. You can apply medium potency steroid cream application such as mometasone or fluticasone cream. You can take antihistamine Ben Chat Doctor. Take care.
