Question
After the baby receives a vaccine, redness and swelling appear at the injection site, followed by the formation of a scab. While bathing, the scab was accidentally removed, revealing a clear liquid. I’m wondering if this is normal and if there’s anything to worry about.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may have received the BCG vaccine, which leaves a scar on the skin. Accidentally removing the scab during bathing, you can use iodine tincture for local disinfection. Currently, the scab has formed, indicating that the situation should not be severe. It is recommended to continue observing after disinfection. The formation of a scar after receiving the BCG vaccine is a normal phenomenon. I hope this answer is helpful to you.
