Question: I just got a TB test 48 hours ago and i have a thing on my arm, but it is not where they did the test.?
Does this mean I have TB? It is not the size of a coin and it hurts slightly to touch. It also feels really warm. Do i need to go the ER? It is near the wrist and the test was near the inside of my elbow on the same arm. It's kinda the size and shape of a blister, but it is inside my arm. Is it possible to get a blister inside your skin? Someone please help me, I am scared.

Answers:

this does not mean anything, because it always shows up where you had the test. it may just be an acne pimple or a blister of some kind. it is probably unrelated. the TB test does not infect you with TB anyway. it injects you will a dead or weakened microbe.

I just saw something on tv On one of those rare disease shows. This girl got the tb test and she had a false negative and they scanned her lungs. She didn't have tb. But she got these pus filled blisters all over body and she found out she had some rare disease that they usually see in people over 80. She won't die from it but needed to take some medicine to surpress it. I don't think you have it, but just interesting that I just saw that show. Sorry I don't remember the name of the disease.
