My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.

The sensitivity is intense and it's painful whenever I touch it. How long should I expect this swelling to last?

I'm a 28-year-old woman dealing with vitiligo. Back in 2014, it was almost gone, and I got married, which was great, but about a year and a half later, it returned. Now, I'm going through treatment again with steroids, and the patches keep spreading. I don't have a child yet, and I'm worried because my husband is concerned that if we have a child, they might also suffer from vitiligo. What are our options?
While vitiligo currently doesn't have a permanent cure, there are several treatment options to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. It's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider to find the treatment plan that works best for you. Keep in mind that results may vary, and a combination of treatments may be needed.
