Hello! Don’t worry this is normal. It will look horrible and puss and maybe pop and then do it all over again a few times before it properly heals. It’s gross but just clear the puss with cotton wool and cooled boiled water to stop it getting on clothes etc.

Yeah, it's pretty ugly isn't it!! You don't have to do anything, that's what it's supposed to look like, leave it alone and it will heal itself in a little while xxx

Did ur baby have it too Misssao?

[MissSaoPaulo in reply to tiger-cub]

Yeah, it looked like that at first, but it healed nicely and it's just a tiny mark now xxx

[tiger-cub in reply to MissSaoPaulo]

How long did it take

[MissSaoPaulo in reply to tiger-cub]

hmm, it's hard to remember now. She had the vaccination when she was about 15 days old. Maybe a couple of weeks with pus like that, then it stayed as a red bump like an insect bite or spot for ages but now she's almost 11 months and it's just a light scar

Thanks so much ladies . I didn’t sleep through the night . and is it painful for the babies

He is a bit cranky since morning

[tiger-cub]

and it popped too

[Tugsgirl in reply to tiger-cub]

Glad to hear it popped. Hopefully it’s healing nicely now xx

I dint know the drs said it might heal or it night keep popping and healing for quite sometime . It might take up-to 2-3 months for it to heal completely
