Title: TB/meds/rash/itch
Post by: joemutt on November 10, 2013, 11:14:06 pm

A friend takes meds for TB since 10 months, after taking them he has a rash and extreme itching. So he cannot help scratching which leaves scars, he looks like a leopard cub. Has anyone experience with this. He doesn't tolerate antihistamines well so I wd look for alternative help. I researched and found aloe vera gel and aloe vera drink. (?) TB is in remission but still many lesions and puss  :'( Please help if you know of something. :)

Aloe vera gel is what I used. Calamine lotion brings relieve but leaves a pink wash on the skin. Cutting out long hot baths . What was also helpful was a good quality joint .
