describe it alfie. My dts had their BCGs a few months ago and it all looked awful at one stage.

It's red with yellow/green pus and every time I clean it it oozes and it seems to hurt her when touched other than that she is fine.

I think that's normal for BCG. Not pretty but it'll soon clear up.

the dts bcg spots got a bit gunky a couple of months after they were done. You need to try not to bump the area and to leave it alone as much as poss. Should clear up soon. Very unsightly and yukky. I was so glad when it was over.

Remember when we all had them at school - definitely lots of gunkiness around.

was going to post similarly to tinker. it's normal for it to look really grim for a while I'm afraid.
