Have a PPD test done on yourself to test if you've been exposed, if so prophylactic antibiotics should do the trick. Your Dr may also make you have a chest xray if your ppd is pos to make sure you dont have an active case

Is their any negitiv physical reactions or reprocussion to retaking a tuberculosis skin test if you've had it

Is their any negitiv physical reactions or reprocussion to retaking a tuberculosis skin test if you've had it?
If you've tested positive and had tuberculoisis exposure in the past, but got treated... and it disappeared from the x-ray (only showing the SCAR on the lungs)... is their any reason or physical reaction that may come from taking the test again? For example, recontracting the virus, swollen arms, etc. What are those reactions?? Please don't ask questions, like, "why would you take it again... etc," I just need an answer to the question. Thanks!
