How to deal with BCG suppuration

It is normal that suppuration will occur after BCG vaccination, but you must not touch it under any circumstances. No treatment is required. Just let it develop. It will break and then grow into a flower. It will usually be fine in about five months. Parents must pay attention to it and be careful not to get it exposed to water.

What should I pay attention to after BCG vaccination?

About one or two weeks after the BCG vaccination, parents will see a small red nodule appear at the vaccination site, which will then slowly grow larger. The baby will also feel a little pain and itching, but definitely no fever. Pustules or ulcers will form after about six or eight weeks, but don't worry, they will form a scab in about twelve weeks, and then a small scar will form, which will slowly change from slightly red to the same color as the skin.

You don’t need to worry about abscesses or ulcers after BCG vaccination, but you need to keep them clean and the clothes your baby wear should not be too tight. If pus flows out of the abscesses, you can wipe them with sterile gauze. Be careful not to squeeze them and wait for them to fall off naturally.
