What Is Causing Swelling And Numbness After Ppd Shot?
I have my ppd done a week ago. At first there was no redness or swelling but after a day or two the swelling in my arm became so big and i feel a bit numb. At the same time after having a hair dye i developed rashes at my nape and very itchy.it is one week now since my ppd shot but still a bit swollen which measures 15 to 20 mm. What could be the implications of this doctor! Am terribly worried.
