Dr. Zhang Junfeng
After BCG vaccination-induced suppuration, local heat application is typically recommended promptly to promote blood circulation and facilitate the drainage of pus. If the abscess ruptures, 5% para-aminosalicylic acid ointment may be applied for treatment, or sterile gauze may be used to gently wipe the area. Avoid squeezing the wound, as this may exacerbate symptoms. Maintain local hygiene routinely.
