Scar tissue can show this type of changes even long time after surgery. Specially in foot where weight of whole body is there. Are you feeling any itching also. It can be a skin problem as well, so if it is causing any itching and discoloration increases than you can show to a skin specialist. I think chances of a hypertrophic scar is also can not be rule out. You have to keep a look if scar size is progressively increasing,than you may need a steroid injection in your scar.
