Answers:
yes, you may need to see a physician!. I am a bit concerned though, because I know the swelling is suppose to go away if TB isn't present, but you did scratch it!. You may have to re-take the test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Try an ice pack!. And definitely see the doc who gave you the TB test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Go to your local physician and ask him to have a look at it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
