There is a lump in my right armpit on the incision. Is it scar tissue, will it go away and is it anything to be concerned of?

I am 2 weeks post op and in my right armpit by the incision line there is a hard lump. I do not have any fever, redness, or drainage from the site but it is just tender to the touch.
