Scars After Surgeries In The Lower Abdomen. Spotted Reddishness, Odour And Pain. Used Neosporin. What Could It Be?

I have two scars from pass surgeries lower abdomen I notice today in the folds of skin there is a red area
about the size of a fifty cent piece that looks angry and very red. Could it be from the heat or something
more serious. there is slight pain in the area and an odor. I put neosporin on and covered it tonight.
Should I see my doctor to determine what it is? Thank you.
