A member asked:
Is it normal to have a little hole after bcg vaccine had pus coming from the scar but cleared up and left a hole? lg is 6w3d?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncommon complicatio: BCG can cause intense inflammation ending up with an ulcer. This is what you are dealing with. It will likely heal over the next 3-4 weeks but it will require daily proper cleaning so that there is no puc collection. You should also let the doctor who did the BCG vaccination know about this complication, so that they can check this area.
