It could cause troubles if you don't get it taken care of properly.

Just do the treatment. I know someone who applied for a AOS green card from a different visa who came up positive for inactive TB. He got treatment and then got approved. Often times skin tests are not the best indicators for TB. Turks for example are given an extra strong dose when they get vaccinated for TB, which shows up as positive on a skin test. They then need to get the X-ray. I know several Turkish people this has happened to.
