General Surgeon,  's  Response
HI ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The lump on the site could be a hypertropic scar or an organised hematoma, and this could be diagnosed by a physical examination. I would advise you to take appointment with a general surgeon for a proper assessment of the lesion and further management. Till that you could go for an anti inflammatory drug to get some symptomatic relief.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
