Almost 3 months post tummy tuck. A spot on my scar has opened up and now another spot that's very soft. Is this normal? (Photo)

Asked By:d.hickey in Kansas, AL

The first spot that has opened up is on the right of the zoomed in photo and the very soft new spot is to the left of the first one. When I press on that new spot area of the scar, it feels like it's about to open up. I'm not sure what I should do. Just keep an eye on it?
