Body tanned

[Ayeeshamehta]

I was really very fair but after the medication started now I am tanned. My body is dark red in colour. But I am on my medications now.How much time will it take to get normal after I complete my course?

Hi have you had your liver checked via a blood test to make sure all is well? You could also ask if you are vitamin D deficient. See what your doctor has to say. But stay strong and don’t forget your not alone x

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to hottchoc]

Yes I do check on my liver functioning after every 3 months.thankyou so much❤️

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to Ayeeshamehta]

Please tell me that my skin colour will get back to normal or not?

[hottchoc in reply to Ayeeshamehta]

My guess is that it will, but I think it is something you need to ask the good doctors 🌷

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to hottchoc]

Ohkk

[Cocogirlie in reply to Ayeeshamehta]

I too have that same question I wish someone would tell me.

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to Cocogirlie]

Hi...I am studying in a medical college and I have asked many doctors here about the skin colour. They all have said that once the medicines are stopped the normal skin colour will be back in 3 to 9 months. The red colour or the dark colour of the skin is due to the drug clofamazine which has sulphur component. Due to the reaction occuring of sulfur the colour gets attached toh the epidermis of the skin.so the skin turns red or dark red.once the medication is stopped the reaction also stops.so the body colour gets normal but it takes time

[jhjhjjhj in reply to jhjhjjhj]

is there any medication or treatment to get my previous skin back??

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to jhjhjjhj]

I have no idea about it. I am worried too about my colour

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to jhjhjjhj]

You should ask your doctor about it. And if there is any other treatment to get the skin colour back please let me know.

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to jhjhjjhj]

Did you visit a dermatologist?

[Cocogirlie in reply to jhjhjjhj]

I am so sorry to hear that

[Cocogirlie in reply to jhjhjjhj]

Sorry to hear this. That doesn’t give me a warm and fuzzy felling. I can only hope in time we will feel close to normal again.

[Cocogirlie in reply to Ayeeshamehta]

Wow that is interesting information thank you. My skin did not turn red but is looks like I have a tan as if I have been out in the sun. Does not seem normal.

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to Cocogirlie]

My pleasure. How much time it has been since you are on medication?

Are you a student? How did you get tb?

[Cocogirlie in reply to Ayeeshamehta]

I had a double lung transplant 7 years ago and they found it during a bronchoscope. All of the people I was around got tested negative. All of my sputum cultures negative. Now they are investing to see if they was a lab mixup!

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to Cocogirlie]

I am ok now as far as my lung transplant. But I am upset if this was some kind of mixup or mistake. I feel this TB medicine has really done a number on my body. My gut health is shot. I still am having a difficult time holding onto weight. My muscle mass is gone. I still have anxiety and my eye sight has deteriorated! I have a friend who is helping me try to get back on healthy track, but she says it will take 6 months (the amount of time I was on the TB meds) to get gut health back! She kept sending me articles to read on how bad all of those antibiotics were! If I find out there was a lab mixup and I really did not have TB, I might start a lawsuit.

[Ayeeshamehta in reply to Cocogirlie]

Why do you think that it was lab mixing ?

Where you not getting the symptoms of tb?
