Hi all, my second son was born on August 28th 2024. The BCG vaccine was given after birth but till date there is no scar (the scar formation has not yet started). 3 weeks completed but still the scar formation has not yet started, is it fine?

A. Dont worry. First a lump will be formed around two months and then it will heal on its own and form a scar. Do the baby has more time for scar formation. If you still have any doubts please consult with your doctor once. Thank you.
