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 having this really persistent itching problem in the area between my legs, and it feels like it's been going on forever. It's super itchy and gives this intense burning sensation, almost like it's on fire. I tried some medicines I got from the local pharmacy - a tablet called LCetriver and a cream called Trioderm. They seemed to help, but as soon as I stopped using them, the itching flared up again, even worse. I should also mention that I've had a lot of body hair since I was a kid, and there's a lot in the itchy area too. Could my hormones be playing a part in this, and what should I do to finally get rid of this problem?

Is melanocyte transplantation an option for treating stable vitiligo? I've had it for about 8 months now and wondering if this surgery could help
Yes, melanocyte transplantation can be an option for treating stable vitiligo, particularly in cases where other treatments have not been successful. It involves surgically transferring melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) from a healthy area of skin to the depigmented areas of vitiligo. This procedure can help repigment the skin and restore color
