Why did my areola incision open? 2 months post op. (photos)

Krystal_1
I'm a little over 2 months post op and I noticed a small white bulge around my areola incision, a few days later the bulge dried out and scabbed. The scab came of when I took a shower and now it looks like an small, superficial opening. In the photo it's a little red because I just removed the gauze and it again pulled off the scab that was forming. Is this normal? Why did the incision open to begin with (white bulge)?
