It usually takes 6 weeks to heal , there may 2-3 cycles of pus formation , the ulcer
at the vaccination site may persist for a few weeks before formation of scar. It does not cause pain and no treatment is required for this condition unless there is secondary bacterial infection or baby is immunocompromised . if baby is uncomfortable do consult your paediatrician.
