* Seems like minor inflammatory issue underneath the scar over the lateral part.
* Should get a prescription for the ultrasound of the inguinal part from your doctor(or even any local doctor) to evaluate the condition thoroughly.
Wishing you a fine recovery. Let me know if I can assist you further.
