TB Skin Test - Mantoux Method

Just got my second one today. It’s not bad at all. Just focus on something else if you’re squeamish around needles. I counted the dots on a wall decoration and barely noticed the needle it was fine.

[@xeroxlyy2187]

Honestly felt only a sort of tight sensation. Your arm has less nerves in that area and the needle is pretty small. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt

[@TheSuperPuppiez]

I just got my TB test done. Coming from someone who has a huge fear of needles it wasn’t bad. Of course I started to tear up as I get myself worked up, but once it happened I was like “oh”. It’s not bad, it’s such a little pinch . You barley feel it. Afterwards it isn’t bad either.

Alright listen up folks. I am the WORST when it comes to needles. Even typing the word makes me uneasy. I'd rather jump out of a plane by myself then get a poke, that's how bad it is for me. THAT BEING SAID, I DREADED getting my TB test even though people said not to worry about it. My nervous self didn't listen and continued to feel anxious. I got it today and honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought. When people say "it's just a pinch", usually I think that's bs but it's actually true. If you pinched a small area of your skin, the sensation of a tb test is the same. Good luck everyone who's probably doing what I did, look up videos of people getting TB tests/vaccines to see their reactions. :)

[@brandyjuhl8477]

Tdap is only tetanus, diphtheria, and pertusis (whooping cough). They have nothing to do with Tuberculosis. TB test results are only good for a max of 2 years, so they have to be done when you enter a new school or the public health field. Also, tuberculosis is not deadly in an otherwise healthy person unless it's left untreated, so don't worry. But you do need the test, because symptoms don't arise until the late stages of TB. Hope this helps.

[@MK-fi4cd]

The TB test does not hurt whatsoever. The needle is introduced on the upper layer of the skin, meaning no nerves involved. I dunno where people are getting this ridiculous assumption that it "hurts."

[@MK-fi4cd]

You obviously don't realize there are 2 parts to the skin called EPIDERMIS and DERMIS. The TB test does not touch the dermis, which has nerve endings. Please stop being ignorant fool and learn something.

[@moniidee93]

Mubashir Khan As a nursing student, the TB test is an intradermal injection (ID). Therefore, yes, it is injected right into the dermis.

[@lovins88]

I hope it doesn't hurt or only hurts a little tomorrow. Yeah once when I got this test done when they were making the bubble it hurt really badly.

I took a test on Monday (almost two days ago), and Wednesday (in a few hours) I am getting it read... I have some redness around the area, and I think there's a slight bit of induration (tbh i have no idea what that means), it's like sorta raised or swollen I guess, no big bump or anything tho... I'm like worried I might have the dormant type, but I really hope that it's just my skin reacting to it, and i'm actually negative.

[@agthegoat26]

Got mines yesterday. Usually it doesn’t hurt but the person who put the needle in me did it horribly with intense pain. Which then caused a good amount of bleeding. Today it’s showing red but no bumpy I assume it’s the the agitation of the skin due to the improper insertion of the needle

[@willand31]

I have a faint red mark and a very tiny rise after 38 hours with no sign of a white wheel to measure, am I negative?

[@Michelle-fm2iz]

Sorry 8 years later. If you don't show TB, you either have immunity to it or you have it hidden and walled off in your body at the moment. The mantoux test checks to see if you have an immune reaction. If you do, you were exposed at one point. It suggests you do have it, if you didn't have the vaccine for it. If you had the vaccine, you would show the same reaction all because it's your immune system attacking the material injected.

Oh flu shots I don't even feel them. The only pain I really can't stand are burns which is why childbirth really scares me. But I'd like to have at least 1 kid in my life. I think I could manage not to mess up 1 kid's life lol. Yeah needles never really bothered me, but burns. Oh I think about all those people in the past who were burnt at the stake and when I die (in my bed, peacefull in my sleep in my 90s maybe a 102 but let's not push our luck) I'd like to donate my skin to the burned firefighters cause. You know what really hurts about a needle when it does hurt? When they don't wait long enough for the rubbing alcohol to dry.

Oh well in the future don't worry about them. It really shouldn't be painful at all. Burns are awful. The most awful sounds of agony at my work come from the burn wards.

Jason Rothfeld Are you a nurse or doctor?

[@deepaksinha8941]

Why is it read transversely...??

[@backdoor68]

I had one done and the nurse just injected it in, not making a wheal. Is this just the same?

[@a00r]

what happens if you test negative?

[@rc2344]

a00r then you're fine, or in other words, you don't have Tuberculosis and haven't had contact with it. Testing positive means you might have it. Just be happy if its negative lol :)

[@IntanKhaz]

I get my 2nd test but I don't know whether it's negative or positive. There is a small bump around 10mm. Can anyone tell me whether it is positive or negative? I'm really scared if it's positive n I will be visiting my doctor tmrw for the results.
