What is the term for this small hole on my scar? (Photos)

sophia__
Exactly one month after my breast augmentation I developed a small hole on the incision of my scar. It’s not bleeding but it is releasing a light brown liquid. On the inside of the hole I can see it is a pinkish white color. I don’t have any idea why it is there or how it developed. What concerns me the most is that it’s not bleeding. I figured if it were bleeding it would heal up on it’s own. Does anyone know what it could be or have any information on how to heal from this?
