Is this a spitting stitch? (Photo)

Asked By:b00bies4me in Houston, TX

There is a white bump on my incision line that has been there for about 2 weeks now. I'm currently 5 weeks post op. If so will it go away? Or do I need to do anything for it? My ps is out of state so I cannot go to him unfortunately.
