Pain With Blisters Over The Mark On The Skin Where Tb Test Was Done. Feeling Of Stretching The Skin. TB Test Inconclusive. Chest X-ray Normal. No Cold, Cough. Guide

I had a tb test on Friday morning and I did have it checked on Monday and they said it was incunclusive. I then went for a chest xray and they said that I didn't have anything to worry about but I was out in the sun all day yesterday and today and this morning the mark was red but did not hurt but after being outside all day in the sun I noticed it is really hurting and it has blisters all over the red mark and it feels like my skin is stretching. What does this mean? I feel fine and haven't had a cold or cough in a few years.

hello sir/madam
i have read your problem. you have nothing to worry about, there is no tb, the problems could be due to an allergic reaction at the site of infection. take some anti-allergic for a day or two and you'll be fine.
wish you good health
regards
