Brief Answer:
This is completely normal, do not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hello... I understand your concern.
But this reaction to BCG is completely normal and it might take 6 to 8 weeks to completely settle down and become a scar formation.
Nothing to worry at all. It might even increase and then only subside. There is no need for you to get a pediatrician's direct consultation regarding this.
I wish your kid a bright future ahead. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link.
