Hi, is it normal for my newborn BCG vaccination to look like this after 1 month?

Totally normal! BCG usually forms a small bump or blister around 2-6 weeks after the jab. It might even become a small pus-filled sore, that’s all part of the normal process. Just keep it clean and dry, don’t squeeze or pop it. It’ll eventually crust over and leave a small scar. See PD if there’s a lot of swelling, redness spreading around the area, or baby has a fever.

Yes — that appearance can be normal after a BCG vaccine, especially around 3–8 weeks after the injection. What usually happens: A small red bump appears. It can turn into a pustule / blister with white or yellow center. It may ooze or crust. It heals slowly and leaves a small scar.

yes its normal. please dont do anything to it.

Yes, it is normal. Usually it will become like this and then break and will leave a small mark. Fun fact- for my brother this never broke, so as an adult his vaccine spot becomes swollen like this every time he gets sick. It’s kind of funny as he’s already 33 😅
