16 days post op, I have a pointy bump like pimple. Is this normal?

Gingirica
16 day after upper and lower bleph, my surgeon told me to massage the scar , there is like a raised muscle along the incision and when I press a pointy bump like pimple , raises from the inside of the skin and feels like it's attached to that raised piece of muscle / bump/ cyst (?) Is it normal? I don't feel comfortable to massage it anymore . Sorry about the clarity of the pictures and thanks for any suggestions and advise .
