Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have read your query and understood your concerns
The wysolone medication should not be stopped abruptly and should be tapered down .As you mention that the symptoms have re occurred I would recommend a dermatologist opinion for further evaluation and treatment plan as it looks like relapse leprosy.
