A member asked:
Are there any dangers from repeating a potive ppd test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The reaction the next time around can be more prominent leading to significant pain and discomfort and, potentially, a scar. Once a person has had a positive PPD skin test, they should not have the test repeated.
