Answers:
I just got one about 3 weeks ago and mine did the same!. No redness but a lil raise!. The nurse told me that if the raise is not an inch wide then you should be ok!. Mine was about 0!.5 of an inch!. Mine was a lil sore for about 3 days but after that it will go down!. So if i were you i would get a small ruler and put it right next to the bumb and mesure the size of it!. But its natural to see a bumb when you first get the shot!. So dont worry! Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
it depends on how raised it is!. when i had to have to two step test my first one was red and raised a tiny bit, but not enough to be concidered positive, and my second one was negative!. so i would say dont worry about it!. your doctor/nurse will tell youWww@Answer-Health@Com
redness does not indicate a positive test!.!.!.!.it is about the induration (hard swelling) at the site!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No!. Mine did the same thing about 2 weeks ago!. It was fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
