I've noticed that whenever I drink alcohol, within roughly 23 days, the skin near my palms and sometimes my legs starts peeling off, although its less noticeable on my legs. It really doesn't look good and I'm a bit worried about it. Could you help me find a solution or suggest what might be causing this?

I have several sebaceous cysts on my scrotum and want to get them removed without any visible scarring or changes to how it looks. I heard laser treatment might be an option since it's supposed to be seamless, but I'm not sure. Someone mentioned plastic surgery too, but I'm worried about potential sensitivity issues afterward. Can you recommend a doctor in Bangalore who's experienced in this and uses the best equipment for the procedure?

excision of the cystis advised.

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
