Hi
Thank you for your question to HCM.

It would be helpful to know more about the irritation. It is likely to be related to Anti Tuberculosis medications. Maintenance of hygiene on back skin can also be challenging with strict bed rest which may lead to such problem.

If it is itching medications like Hydroxyzine (Atarax) taken under supervision of a physician offer relief. Back skin should be kept clean and dry with even application of regular talcum powder.

Hope this is helpful. Wishing her a speedy recovery.
