BCG Vaccine Scar

2024-09-21 06:43:13
My son had a blister at BCG Vaccine site which popped automatically and started bleeding. I cleaned it and put fusiwal ointment on it. Later I read that it should not be covered with ointment so I cleaned using cloth and warm water. Will it cause and side effect? My son is 4 weeks old.

No there will be no side effect. This is quite normal. Just clean the area whenever needed and keep it open. Visit a pediatrician. No need to apply antiseptic creams as it is a normal reaction to BCG

No need to apply anything powder/ointment on the BCG vesicle. It ll heal in 2 weeks. Once application won't cause any significant effect.

It is natural for the BCG site to form a vesicle. No need to do anything. No creams are required. Single application of Fusiwal should not cause any untoward effect. In case of any new symptom, pls consult
