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.

It is best not to use Lobate GM on your face, especially for acne, due to the risks of side effects like skin thinning and worsening of acne

I'm using Biluma cream for the past couple of days, and it's causing red patches on my cheeks. Is this cream actually good for dark circles and skin whitening? How should I be using it? I'm a bit concerned and could really use some advice.

If the red patches persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for guidance.

I've noticed that there's something like dandruff on my penis, kind of like peeling skin. It's been happening for about a month now. Should I be worried about this or is there something specific that might be causing it? How can I get rid of it?
