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'm wondering if it's okay to use calak lotion on my skin, even though I don't have any issues with it right now. Is it fine to apply this lotion at night, and is it safe to use after putting on a herbal face pack? I'm just trying to make sure I take care of my skin properly.
Yes you can take it ,instead you can also apply good moisturizer

My skin near my testicles is changing color, and it's getting really soft. Now, it's starting to crack, and there's even some bleeding. It's quite painful. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've noticed a dark horizontal line on my nose that just appeared over the last few days. I'm a bit worried and wondering how I can get rid of it. What might be causing this, and are there any remedies or steps I should take to clear it up?
It can be due to various reasons. some are due to skin irritation or pressure caused by wearing glasses, masks or other items that or against the nose. Repeated rubbing off the nose due to allergies can also cause this. Could be a result of mild trauma, Sun exposure or hormonal changes. So to treat and prevent that avoid all the things I mentioned before . Use a gentle cleanser to clean the area twice daily. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Moisturise the area. Is brightening creams with vitamin c, niacinamide or kojic acid.
