Can a scar look better at two weeks post Mohs and then look worse a week later?

It will be three weeks tmrw since I had mohs, I followed cleaning instructions perfectly and at two weeks post op my wound/scar looked amazing but now at three weeks post op looks worse. Redder and a bit raised. Is this normal?
