It can vary with the person. A positive reading on a Tuberculin Skin Test only means that at one time you had the TB bacteria in your body, nothing else. If a person gets a negative reading there is no need for further tests.

Mine was about 6 inches around. It was, however, discovered that I did not have active TB.
