Pimple on left arm( shoulder)
My son is born on 7 oct... currently 2 months old, from the past three to four days we have been observing that there is a pimple kind of scar on his left arm,we are thinking it could be BCG vaccine scar...can someone pls look into the picture and confirm what it is and what needs to be done
bcg vaccination which is given at birth in the upper arm will form a swelling by one or maximum two months and then it will burst open and then pus will come out from it and after that it will become a scar mark.
you have to take medical consultation if it days causing pain fever and discomfort to the child.
also if the pus discharge is increasing or aggravating again you have to meet the doctor and locally you can apply t bact cream.
