Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sometimes, the mark of BCG does not occur. If you are sure that BCG vaccination was done then nothing needs to be done, otherwise BCG needs to be repeated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Deepak Patel
