What Causes Bruising And Pain At The Surgical Scar?

I have a seven year old scar from stitches. Keep in mind I haven't had a problem with this scar until today, I woke up this morning and stood up, I felt a little pain on my leg But I decided to walk it off. I showered And when I got out I noticed bruising directly on the scar. This have never happened before and it hurts every time I more that leg.I don't re
recall ever hitting that specific spot recently or at all. What caused this bruising ? Should I be worried?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the only possibility is infection and this need to be ruled out and for that you need to get the clinical examination if this is not the infection then no need to worry about this and for the symptom you can have Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, take care.
I find this answer helpful
