Duration of redness after mantoux test

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

Hi, I had done the mantoux test 4 weeks ago. I just want to know how many days/weeks/months does it take so that the minor redness caused due to the test vanishes. The doctor said me that the test is giving inacurate results and not to worry as it was measured to be 20mm. Please let me know how many days it takes so that the redness completely vanishes?
