Appearance of red lump after one month
Hello sir/madam,
My daughter is 41 days old. She was born on Feb 21st 2020. She is having a red lump on her left upper arm. We noticed it just 3 days back. Attached screenshot of the lump for your reference. We had given her vaccine on Feb 28th (7days after her birth). Is this normal? Kindly help us to proceed further.

It’s a normal bcg vaccine induced swelling which will rupture and form a scar which tells you that the vaccine is taken up nicely.
