I had a tuberculosis vaccine when i was a kid and i got it now too (18 yrs). it's getting redder with time around the injection. should i be worried?

No: You shouldn't worry, it may just be a local reaction by an active immune system, or possible infection at the site of injection, if no improvement or any worrisome symptom, in a day or two, see your doctor
