What does it mean if your "bubble" of solution moves after a tuberculosis test



What does it mean if your "bubble" of solution moves after a tuberculosis test?
Yesterday I got screened for tuberculosis and I am concerned because the little bump of medicine that they injected under my skin has moved up away from its original injection site. Is that normal? I would say it's only about an inch and a half away and it is a little red and has a "pimple" like tip.

It's highly unlikely that its anything to worry about, did you touch it Altot? or play with it? even leaning on it in bed will squish the fluid upwards and move the 'bubble'. If the bubble remains there up to your second appointment time which should be today or tomorrow you will not need to have the vaccine. As the just inject under the skin, moving of fluid is probably the answer, this is very easily done. If you think about some water being between two pieces of cling wrap film how easy it would be to move that around, it's very much the same process. Dont worry yourself. Good luck with the second appointment
