This could either be truncal acne or an eruption due to ATT.
Use sulphur salicylic lotion over the back daily at night.
Follow up after three weeks via online consultation.

It is not due to drug as 4 months are over after tb drugs. You have to take standard acne treatment like local antiseptic soaps...local tretinoin therapy. If problem is severe go for video consultation

The acne that you are suffering are drug induced.
Tb meds are known to give breakouts.
Please consult online for proper treatment.
