Last time i did the PPD thing was a year ago. I just got it again today, and I have a red blotch about the size of a quarter. So im pretty sure im positive for it. Im just wondering what the Army is going to do about it? Is it like really serious or anything? Enough to get kicked out over?

Don't think you'll get kicked out. They'll treat you, then get you back to work. TB can be serious but if you're really in the army then you get free healthcare, so go to a hospital and get it sorted. Treatment doesn't happen straight away though, it takes a couple days. And don't wait around, get yourself to a doctor before it gets serious, if it isn't already.

they do not measure redness. I think if there are blisters that show up then you are considered positive
