Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face after getting tuberculosis infection which impaired immunity of your body and made you susceptible for infections. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to use product containing benzoyl peroxide. You should avoid oily, sharp and spicy food. You should apply sun screen Such as TAN CARE rich in SPF 26. Drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. You should apply aloe vera gel on scars and apply vitamin E oil on face at night before going to bed. Apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. You should wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
