Do I have Tuberclosis?
I developed a huge painfull swollen lump in the left side of my neck (lymph nodes) in June'15. FNAC (twice) suggested lymphonitis and PDP test was 20mm positive. TB specialist advised me to start DOTS course, though he wasnt sure if I had TB. I didnt take DOTS but continued heavy antibiotics for 2 months. The size of the lump decreased by 20% afterthat I stopped taking medicines. By April'16 the size of the lump was just 5% of the original size. My weight, overall health and energy levels remain same as last years. But I have developed skin allergies like execessive itching, red patches on the body that turn brown before disappearing, rough and red itchy patches, and above all thick black patches near ankle and lower back. Upon visiting a dermatologist recently I was told that since I was advised to go on DOTS, I should get skin TB test done. I am extremely confused as d doc who suggested me DOTS was himself not sure if I had TB. Can someone please suggest the best Skin TB doc in NCR?

Though diagnosis of tb is many times contravercial I must say you were wrong to stop tb treatment If you didnt had tb, the drugs wont have harmed your body But if you had tb then it will get resistance, and wont respond to conventional drugs, Also your family members who get infection will also get multi drug reaistannt tb I must say you are not only harming your self, but also spreading multi drug resistant tb, and also killing many innocent people with your ignorance.
