Management of cutaneous tuberculosis in hand – Rare and disabling: A case report

Cutaneous Tuberculosis (CTB), elicited by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, manifests dermatologically. The scarcity of bacilli within CTB lesions renders their detection challenging. This study presents a case of CTB, underscoring its rarity and the potential for severe complications that can deteriorate patient quality of life. It aims to highlight the importance of CTB identification in dermatological diagnoses due to its capacity to cause considerable morbidity and affect patients' psychosocial health.
