Yes, as INH and Rifampicin are powerful antibiotics requiring prolonged use, they may cause skin problems. Especially when you move out in sun (photosensitivity).
You may use a B-COMPLEX with VIT. A and VIT. E. Also you may use some moisturizer. Avoid going out in harsh sunlight for the duration of theraphy.
