Per the terms of agreement of this site, I believe that medical advice cannot be given. The TB test you had needed to be read by a trained person 24-72 hours after it was placed. Further concerns should be addressed by your physician or another provider as designated.

Everyone should worry. Especially who joins an anonymous international message board to seek medical advice

Once again per the site terms of service you agreed to not solicit medical advice. You can review CDC guidelines. You need to consult with your healthcare provider. Regardless of site terms of service it is impossible for any credentialed provider to advise you on a message board

Call your physician

Go to a minute clinic

Use the $35 ask a doc at Walgreens via their app.
