What Does A Tiny Bump On The Shoulder Indicate?

Hi, I have noticed a very tiny bump (about size of lump caused by mosquito bite)on my 14wk old son s shoulder. It is almost at the hand and shoulder joint slightly towards his back. It is skin colored and i can feel it. If i stretch the skin there then iam able to see it. It does not cause him any pain. It looks like hardening of skin due to an injection. Our doc says its due to bcg vaccine but it was given a bit up on his hand. He said there is no need to worry and will check after 2 months. he said it might get bigger and burst but by look of it it doesn t look like it will burst..please let us know your views..

Hello,

The location of lump clearly for BCG as your doctor already assured you. I do not think anybody can answer than your doctor as he visualised and answered.

In case you still have the query please post the high-resolution images of lump to me. I will look over it and will answer you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar, Psychiatrist
