A member asked:
I have small, pimple-like bumps on my forehead. now, it spread all over my face after finishing medication for tb. is it acne? or there is more to it?

Drug reaction: I'm concerned this rash needs to be checked out by a doctor. While it's certainly possible this is 'just' acne, some TB meds (INH or isoniazid) can cause a lupus-like drug reaction. A doctor should be able to tell pretty quickly if that is the problem based on the appearance of the rash. Sun exposure, for example, may have made it worse? I hope you can see a reputable doctor there. Ingats
