Maybe you mean TB lymphadenitis (tuberculosis).



  

Mycobacterium tuberculosis can indeed infect a variety of organ systems, including the lymph nodes. These bacteria usually enter through the respiratory tract, especially in people who come in close contact with other TB sufferers, children, the elderly, and people with poor immune system. Under normal conditions, this lymph node functions as a haven and proliferation of white blood cells in warding off infections, including TB infection. However, along with its development, this lymph node itself can actually become infected, so that arises lymphadenitis. Clinically, TB lymphadenitis sufferers will experience lumps (often in the neck, armpits, or groin) that are round, smooth, springy, and often feel painful, especially when pressed. Not only that, TB lymphadenitis can also make sufferers experience fever, excessive sweating, weight gain is difficult to rise, weakness, fatigue, and various other complaints.



  

Handling TB lymphadenitis is done by giving OAT (anti-TB drugs) that must be consumed by sufferers for at least 6 consecutive months. Every month, the patient will be re-evaluated by a doctor to assess his responsiveness to the treatment given. After more than 2 months of treatment, complaints will generally improve slowly.



  

However, you need to know, that the treatment of TB lymphadenitis must also be accompanied by appropriate natural treatments, including those related to diet, regulation of activities, and also lifestyle modification. This inadequate treatment is likely to make your mother appear to be undergoing improvement despite long-term treatment. It could also, the slow healing process occurs due to the non-optimal resistance of your mother's body, resistance (immunity) of bacteria to the treatment given, as well as a variety of other factors. Compared with other complaints. lumps in lymph nodes due to TB lymphadenitis often will indeed not disappear completely, even though the patient's status has recovered from illness.



  

The itching that your mother is experiencing right now could be a side effect of the OAT she is taking. It could also, this itching occurs due to other reasons, for example allergies, skin irritation, infections, disorders of liver function, disorders of the thyroid gland, dry skin, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and so on.



  

Our advice, you check your mother back to the doctor or a specialist in internal medicine in order to get the right treatment. Meanwhile, at home, help your mother do the following steps:







Take OAT as recommended by your doctor  

Give your mother healthy and nutritious food, containing rich calories and protein  

Give him too much to drink  

Let your mother take a break from exhausting activities  

Accompany him to exercise  

Create a clean, well-ventilated and well-lit environment  

If you or someone else around your mother shows symptoms of TB infection, see your doctor directly to treat them properly



Hope this helps ... are you sure that hey are not either ofthe following:

small blisters or heat rash? (i had this once and yes they itch)
-the blisters were so tiny that i could hardly even tell thatt hey were blisters, my doctor had to actually point it out, that they were blisters and not just "bumps".

an allergic reaction to your tanning lotion?
-sometimes when you continually use the same lotion your body begins to "reject it" same reason why woman who start wearing make up very early tend to not be able to wear it later in life, because they become llergic to it.

have you changed your tannign lotion recently?
-also could be an allergic reaction... or sometimes the "hot action" lotions can cause red bumps and a tingly/itchy sesnation for up to 6 hours after you tan, or until you shower to remove it.

try covering just your tummy with a towel while you tan, and don't apply any tanning lotion or accelorator to the area, for a couple times and see what happens... *i know that you don't want a tan line* but the stomach is usually the first area to tan, gets the darkest and also absorbs the most heat in the bed. if it still happens, it could have something to do with the heat and not the bed or the lotion itself.

you could also see if an aloe based "after tanning lotion" helps.

if none of this works, i would recommend stopping tanning, and seeing your doctor about it before starting again.

**my aunt and uncle owned a tanning salon for 5 years, i both worked and tanned there for a long time, so i've seen alot of crazy stff... probably more than i wanted to... lol**

we also own a tanning bed and have for a really long time... i've been tanning since i was in about 8th - 9th grade.

btw to keep from getting wrinkles from tanning... exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate... lol cause unfortunately it is true... you do get wrinkles from tanning... =) changes are certainly possible, but if you feel a hard lump, or if you are uncertain of the significance of what you are feeling, you should see your doctor for an evaluation to make sure. see more...
