This is a classic BCG vaccination scar.
Medically, it’s a type of “cigarette paper scar”—you can see the typical features:
•Slightly depressed center
•Wrinkled/radial lines
•Well-defined circular shape on the upper arm
It forms after the BCG vaccination, which is given to protect against Tuberculosis.
What likely happened here:
•The vaccine was given intradermally
•A small papule → pustule → ulcer formed
•It healed, leaving this characteristic scar
Why it looks like this:
This “sunken + wrinkled” appearance is typical of a cigarette paper scar, especially when healing occurs with mild dermal tissue loss.
Important:
•Completely normal finding
•Indicates prior BCG vaccination
•No treatment needed
If you want, I can also give you a viral caption + hook for this exact image.
