A member asked:

Got a tb skin test 10 hours ago, large red area has appeared abd gotten bigger and it looks swollen and is very sore. normal or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

TB test: It is probably a local reaction and not necessarily a positive especially this early. Sometimes if the test is given too deeply it can cause bruising or you have a slight allergic reaction to the preservative especially if you have had one recently before this one.
