Popping sound on incision/scar?

April 14, 2016
Asked By:roobearsmama in Kennett Square, PA

While rubbing bio-oil on scar (4 weeks post BA) where the scars felt hard and lumpy, I heard a popping sound followed by no longer a hard lump there, I could feel it pop as well. This is the 3rd pop sound. I had 325 cc under muscle. I know the dr office said it was normal for the scar to be hard and lumpy.
