Hello,

Some treatments for tuberculosis may cause rash as a possible side effect. It is important that you talk this with the doctor treating your father and discussing the chance of this rash being due to the drugs he is using or other causes.

The doctor then will have the determine the further course of action depending on the most likely diagnosis.
It is important to not try to treat it yourself or not to stop treatment for tuberculosis without talking to the doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
