Question:

Answers:
After undergoing tuberculosis testing, some people may experience side effects such as a slight skin rash, itching, redness, peeling, or even loosening of the skin around the injection site.

In rare instances, people have been known to experience a systemic allergic reaction to the tuberculosis test, causing an immediate (within 24 hours) localized or generalized rash and upper respiratory stridor (a harsh, high-pitched creaking noise).

In very rare instances, people have been known to experience vesiculation (blistering), ulceration (inflamed lesion) or necrosis (death if tissue) at the injection site of the test.
