Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
yes you can
It is important that you do not scratch or rub the injection site. Leave the area open; do
not cover with any dressing, cream or ointment. If blisters develop and it causes
discomfort apply a cool compress to the area. You can continue your normal activities
after having the TST including showering, swimming and sport.

Showering is allowed but do not let water come over injection site.
Swimming is not allowed for 48 hours after injection time, as the result should be read after 48 hours of injection.
