No

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The chances of getting leprosy again after cure depends on how strong the immunity of the person is and whether there are any active cases of leprosy around that person.

Once cured the chances of recurrence are very less.

Keep following up with the dermatologist to rule out recurrences.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
