Thanks for contacting HCM. your daughter is on correct treatment. Some times antitubercular medications do cause such itching especially in initial months of treatment. Usually it settles by itself but sometimes it needs treatment. You can apply a steroid ointment locally and if necessary give her anti allergic medication.Regards
