If it's hard too touch and not refer or painless,leave it ALONE.
It's normal tissue reaction to adjuvants in DTP vaccine,occurring in some children.
It'll go away by itself,might take time.
NO meds are required,definitely no surgery,UNLESS it's soft and squishy OR tender to touch.

Your baby may have developed a vaccinoma. However it is very difficult to be sure without having a picture atleast. Kindly get a second opinion if you are not sure about surgery
