My ds had a BCG vaccine at 8 weeks. We live in a TB country...

He's now 5months today.

It's a centimeter in diameter and stands about 5mm proud. Sore too and the skin is flaking.

What should I do? I've read that some drain it and some leave it....

Ow! That looks nasty :( can you take him back to the doctor?

Don't touch it. It's normal. It can remain like this for months and then goes down.
