What Causes Itching And Tingling Sensation Around The Tuberculosis Scar?

Hi Where my tb scar is, I have from time to time, an itching tingling sensation around the area of the scar. No pain, just this sensation in this specific area - no redness or any other visual anomaly. This is nearly 30 yrs after having the vaccination. Thanks

Hi,

It may be a fungal infection. You may try Miconazole cream with allergy cream to ease this itching sensation with good cleaning of the scar.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
