Suggest Remedy For Red Lump Due To BCG Injection
Hi my daughter had her BCG injection when she was around 2weeks old. she is now 18weeks old & has a big red/ purple lump on her arm. it is not pussing, does not seem sore to touch & she does not have a fever but i am still concerned as it looks really big & still seems to be getting bigger this long time after the injection

Hi sometimes because of a vaccination the disease itself is caused. In this case it could be a mild form of tuberculosis. Sometimes Pediatricians will give a mild course of medication for this. Please show your child's pediatrician--regards
