How To Treat Bcg Site Infection?
Hi my son is 3 months old, his bcg site has created an abscess nd a bit of bruising which when it bursts bleeds, can I use povidone iodine on the site nd put a plaster/gauze over it. Bleeding never occured with my previous children, is this normal? He is a healthy nd happy baby but could there be something underlying?

HI
Well come to HCM
I appreciate your concern, this is the right thing you are doing by applying Povidone Iodine ointment, only thing is keep this open no need to cover the wound and apply the ointment frequently, no need to worry about this it will be fine soon, hope this information helps, take care.
