Do I have Tuberculosis, the spot is now red and about 1cm raised


Do I have Tuberculosis, the spot is now red and about 1cm raised?
So I took the shot and went to the nurse and it was negative, and after that a red mark appeared. It's not itchy and it's not spreading. Is it a reaction to something like if may have scratched it or something. Should I go to the doctor or is it fine.

You got a TB test and it was negative? Red and itching are common for the TB test. They only decide it is positive if you have induration (hardening). FYI even if the test is positive, it doesn't necessarily mean you have TB. People who have been vaccinated or previously exposed to TB often test positive. They can be further tested with a check x-ray to ensure that they are safe
