Patient's question:
Baby was born and got vaccinated, then it started to pus and form a scab. Today, during the bath, it got wet. While rubbing the body, the scab came off, and I noticed some watery substance inside the hole. Is it okay?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described. It is likely that the baby received the BCG vaccine. There was a scab, and when bathing, the scab came off. The area can be disinfected with povidone-iodine. With a scab, there is probably no major issue. It is recommended that you disinfect the area with povidone-iodine and carefully observe. It is normal for this vaccine to leave a scar. I hope this explanation helps you. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if the vaccine given to the baby at birth has pus?", and I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
