Bump along scar - should I be concerned? (Photo)

Asked By:Tinker.belle in Fayetteville, NC

I got a breast reduction/lift/areola reduction last august. Throughout the process I've healed well for the most part. Yesterday I noticed this when about to take a shower. I didn't notice it in the morning (but it may have been there it was dark). It doesn't hurt, itch, or burn in any way; I would've never noticed unless I happened to see it. It looks a bit purple at the top and it's squishy when I poke it. It appears to be right on the scar line. What is this, should I be concerned??
