    PPD skin test?

    I just got a ppd skin test today. is it normal for it to swell some? it looks somewhat like a medium sized mosquito bite. I am just curious, i have never had a positive test before. Again, i got this test today, it has been about 10 hours since I got it. Is this anything to worry about?

    you will have to have the test read by a nurse regardless of the outcome. Please attend your scheduled appt. and let the nurse inform you........
