Hello for the last two days I have developed a hard lump on my tummy tuck incision . I am three months postop surgery was July 7, 2017 .it is on my right hand side and when I move it has a pain to it. Also lately it been feeling warm to the touch. It's about 2 inches big and very hard and it's right in my scarline from tummy tuck. It's not squishy or liquidy,it's hard with sharp pinching pains. What is this? A cyst? Fibrosis?
