Suggest Remedies For Redness Around The Injection Site
I got a TB test this morning at work. I usually get a red non raised quarter size spot around the injection. I have had chest x-rays that show negative. How can I get the redness to go away it is causing some of my co-workers discomfort. Even with the results of an x-ray today showing negative they still seem weirded out.
