Resources For Cutaneous Tuberculosis Treatment
Where can I find a list of doctors and treatment centers in the United States that deal with cases of cutaneous tuberculosis and mycobacterium? My dad is having difficulty with only oral treatment and it is primarily manifesting in his skin and joints . Any information on centers or specialists is welcome.

You can consult any Infectious Disease specialist Doctor. Dermatologist may be able to treat for cutaneous TB. Let your father eat high protein diet rich in pulses, eggs, chicken. If he has joint pains as well he may need Rheumatologist consult.
