Thanks Yellowfinned. I am waiting and watching right now. It started as a rash but now it is just a solid red area and is somewhat painful. I hope it is something other than TB. We will just have to wait and see. Thank you for your post. I am trying not to worry too much...yet.

Thank you,
Kris

A friend of mine got fish TB on his hand. His doctor confirmed it and it cleared up with treatment. Don't leave it long before going to the doctor.
