The Mantoux test reading cannot be done by looking at the picture. The swelling has to be measured.. not the reddness. Please visit a doctor/ center where the test was given for an appropriate reading.

Get it measured by the staff who performed it. By looking only it is difficult to say that it is positive or negative. And why you have gone through it? Negative or positive doesn’t make any sense for management of a disease
