yeah its normal...I had the same

You mean the test to see if you've been exposed? That's what it looks like if you have a reaction after a few days. Right now it might just be irritated because you had something injected under your skin.

Yes, that is normal but if your skin starts molding up and gets a little bruised up and bumpy then you need to see a doctor. Take Care. :)

if you had the TB test and it swells up like that....then the doctor's going to make you take a drug for 6 months..... the claim is that the body was exposed at one point or another and you should take it as a preventive measure. it happened to me but i think it makes my hair fall out more easier now..now that im off that medicine btw that was the only time i ever took medicine for a long period of time...i usually dont take medicine at all

if you JUST got the shot it might just look like a mosquito bite because the stuff injected hasnt gotten time to disperse yet. but what everyone else said is right too
