This is the site of injection for protection against TB (tuberculosis) called BCG. It is normal for the infant to have developed a small swelling and redness at the site. It also means that the injection will be effective in providing protection against TB. It may develop into a sore and will leave a scar. Do not use any antibiotic ointment if a sore develops.

If he doesn't feel any pain, then nothing to worry about it at this stage, better is to wait and watch for it's progression or regression, if you fell that this is getting more harder with pus collection then consult with Pediatric surgeon.
