Turberculosis Test in arm?

Question

I got TB tested and went back and the nurse said I was good to start work. But I still see the spot in my arm where i was injected it's flat but it's like a round circle. Anybody know what it could be or when it will go away??

Answer 1

Could be a reaction to the test itself as far as aftereffect (an example only but I had something like this happen to me about 5 years ago).

I would recommend getting back in touch with the doctor's office to let them know what's going on so that they can evaluate the situation further.

Answer 2

If you can go to work, the test was not considered positive.  You've got a reaction to the test, which is normal and you shouldn't be alarmed.  Apply cortisone cream to the area and it should clear in a few days.
