I seem to be having a reaction to my TB skin test?

Asked by Lilo777 (109points) October 15th, 2012

Just had step one of my TB skin test done today. It’s been about 7 hours and I’ve developed what looks like a red blotch around the area it was injected. It is slightly raised. I know you’re not doctors, I’m just curious as to what this could be… I’ve had TB tests before and I’ve never reacted this way. Could this mean that the test is positive, and if so, what exactly does a positive TB test mean?
