Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem.
Mantoux injection is diagnosis purpose and very safe.
If reaction occur ,it is locally to the area of injection only.
I do not think relation between two.
Lesion may be due to infection or pimple.
It may be due to application of oil or other substance.
It is better to consult dermatologist if you feel your problem persist or increase.
I hope I answered your question.
Let me know if you have any further query.
Regards
