Can I drizzly the spot where on earth i get the TB skin theory test?

I just got the Tuberculin Skin Test, and was wondering if I could rinse out my arm where the spot is, it won't affect the results, will it? Plus, I got the Tetanus shot, how long will it hurt my arm? It feels similar to a bruise but it's nothing big, was just wondering.
Answers:    sure! you can seize your arm wet... i wouldn't scrub the area until after the results though., but you can treat it like run of the mill. as for your tetanus shot, your arm will hurt for maybe 2-3 days? using your arm more will help (i always draw from shots in my right arm so i have to use it). if it is bothering you try icing your arm for 10 minutes w/ an ice pack or taking ibprophen.
