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.

Is it safe to use the Himalaya Neem Face Pack since it contains parabens? I've heard mixed things about parabens, and I'm worried if this could affect my skin in any way. Can anyone shed some light on whether this product is okay to use or if I should be cautious?
As himalaya neem face pack contains paraben, it is generally considered safe to use. Parabens are commonly used as preservatives in cosmetic products to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. However, if you have a known sensitivity or allergy to parabens, it is best to avoid products containing them. If you do not have any known allergies, you can use the Himalaya Neem face pack as directed on the packaging.
