TB Skin Test

by funkymix9, Aug 05, 2007 07:11PM
I recently had a TB test in May.  I had a positive reaction and my skin became red and swollen.  Later that day I had a chest x-ray and was told that I was tested negative for TB.  However it is now August 3rd and I still have a nasty bump on my arm.  It's red and looks as if there is a some puss trapped inside.  I am extremely ashamed and want this lesion off my arm. It has been 3 months, what is going on and how can I get rid of this thing?  Also, is this normal?  Should I be looking into suing the doctor ? I am a working model and this scar has affected my ability to work.

Thank you so much.
