HI.
Thanks for your query .
The lumps are just a fibrosis and nothing to worry about.
You can continue with the same treatment if you are taking some medicines like anti-inflammatory. OR take for one more weeks. Do not fiddle with it. Wait for 3 months. It will settle on its own. If they increase you can request the Doctor for steroid injection into the scar ( i hope this may not be necessary as most of the scars settle well by this time .
