Positive In PPD Test. Painful Blisters Turned Into Scarred, Red , Painful Tissues Whitish In Center. No Fever. Necrotic Wound?
I had PPD test about 2 weeks ago. after 72 hours, it came positive. I had my xray and I was cleared. however there was a blister formation and it was quite painful. about wednesday last week i went back to our physician and he gave me Bactroban cream to apply 3x a day. the blister was gone but it was replaced by a scarred tissue formation, red-pink in color, negative pain but its like the center is somewhat whitish. i wish i can upload a picture for a much better examination thou. i am not feeling feverish. im just worried the wound will get necrotic or what. please help :(
