will hydrocortisone cream interfare with TB test(PPD)?


Question:


Answers:
No. The TB test will only show a result if it interacts with the antigen for TB in your body. If you don't have TB, it won't react. If you do have TB it will react no matter what.
Either way, don't put the cream around the site.

Other Answers:
Ask your doctor.
Leave it be!!!
no, you will be just fine
There is a possibility that the cream could interfere with the reaction if you test positive for TB causing a false negative. However it is unlikely it ywould cause any problems.
