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.

View allI've been noticing dark circles under my eyes lately, and this has never been an issue for me before. I spend a lot of time working in front of the computer, and I'm worried that's what's causing it. I'm really looking for a way to make these circles disappear completely. Could you recommend any methods or creams that would help with this?
It sounds like your dark circles may be due to prolonged screen time, which can strain your eyes and disrupt sleep. I recommend using an eye cream with ingredients like caffeine or hyaluronic acid to reduce puffiness and hydrate the area. Also, ensure you take regular breaks from the screen and get adequate rest for best results.

I'm wondering if it's okay to apply Xerina cream to my armpits to help with the rough skin and dark patches there. My doctor originally prescribed it for my elbows, but can it also be used on areas with inflammation? I'm just curious if it would be safe and effective.

I've noticed this deep horizontal crease line on my stomach, right below my ribs. It's kind of faint in the morning but by the end of the day, it becomes this deep, often red line that's pretty unattractive, especially when I wear a Saree or lehenga. Could you recommend an over-the-counter cream to help get rid of it permanently?
