I have posted on the  USER PHOTOS forum my pics under the topic "please check if this is gyne" and talked about my case there.

I am posting here a question on INH - Isoniazid medication for inactive tuberculosis. I saw some websites which say INH has gynecomastia as a side effect. Did anyone in this board use INH and find the gyne appearing bad?

There was some outbreak of active tuberculosis in our dorm and my doctor found I might have contracted a benign (inactive) form of it. The national CDC recommends INH medication for all inactive tuberculosis cases. It is optional and no one actually goes for it apparently. But my doctor insisted I go for it. I have now completed 9 months of pills - one INH pill per day every day for the past 9 months.

Given all this, how can I prove the mild gyne I have could be caused (partially or fully) by INH? Will this be a viable request for insurance coverage of a possible lip+excision surgery?

Any ideas/experience from you all? Thanks in advance.
