Tuberculosis

2023-05-28 15:26:07
I got tested positive for tb and it's been a month since I started my treatment but i am having skin rashes which turns into black spots after some time and they also cause itching. My dr said they can't stop the treatment and it's okay they will fade away on their own. Is it ok not to go for further tests?
