Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
This is normal reaction of the BCG VACCCINATION.
Need not to panic,
It will heal after some scarring,
The scar may remain whole life.
Just clean the wound with spirit or betadine lotion regularly.
If there is swelling in underarm then please contact the pediatrician.
Hope the query is answered.
