I've been using Safi for a couple of months now, but I don't see any changes on my skin. Some people say it's good, others think it's not. I'm really confused and could use some advice. Should I keep drinking it or stop? Is there any other medicine that might work better for this?

I'm dealing with a really stubborn fungal infection that just won't go away. I've tried so many ointments and medicines, but it always comes back. What could be causing this, and is there something different I should be doing to get rid of it for good? It's really frustrating.

My mom, who's 55, got a pimple on her neck last month. The doctor recommended a Mantoux test, and from the results, they mentioned she might have skin TB. The thing is, except for that pimple, she doesn't have any other symptoms of TB. I'm wondering if just one Mantoux test is really enough to diagnose TB, or should we be looking into more tests? And also, is skin TB something that's curable? Would love some guidance on this.

yes skin tuberculosis is curable
