Can i wear long sleeves after tb test?
I just got my TB test done this morning for a new job. My arm is feeling a bit sensitive where they did the injection. Can I wear a full-sleeve shirt or should I keep it airy?

Honestly, avoid tight sleeves. I wore a tight shirt and the rubbing made the test area super swollen and infected, so I had to rush back to the doctor. Just wear something very loose or short sleeves till they check the reading.
I totally get it, you don't want anything touching that spot or making it itchy. It's best to wear a loose-fitting kurta or a baggy shirt for a couple of days. That way it stays protected and you also stay comfortable.
Haan bilkul wear kar sakte ho, no issue at all. Just make sure the fabric is really soft and loose cotton so it doesn't rub against the spot. When you wear or take off the shirt, just be a bit careful not to scratch it.
Yeah you can, but skip the tight compression gym wear for a couple of days. Go for a loose tee or sleeveless if you are working out, so sweat and tight fabric don't irritate the test area. Keep the nutrition clean too!
Yes, but keep it loose so there's no friction. Since I have diabetes, any small scratch or skin irritation takes forever to heal, so I am always extra careful. Just make sure the sleeve doesn't press hard on the injection site.
