almost 8.5 months post op & problem area

I have a 'spitting stitch' at the bottom of my left nipple, some stitching came out last week, and also a considerable amount tonight. Now the area looks a lot more flat, though darker than the rest of my scars :( . This area had been blistered up since 6 months post op (since about 2 months ago!) that's how long I was waiting for stitching to come out and now it finally has. I hope that is all of it... hoping it will heal normally now and that my only concern here on out can be the scars fading, and not any more of this annoying blister/ stitch business....
Question... Has this happened to any of you this far out of surgery? Do you think this is normal? I am not one to panic quickly and have hesitated about going back to see my surgeon about this, but if it goes on and blisters back up again/ looks like more stitching needs to come out, then I will probably call to make an appointment. Feedback appreciated! Thanks ladies

One more thing!

I forgot to add. I have a small numb area just above my left nipple, and then (when looking down at my boobs) to the right of my nipple a bit of a larger area. When my boobs get cold; I get goosebumps everywhere except for those two small areas. Doesn't bother me though, glad to to have full sensation everywhere else and in my nipples. oh yeah, and on my larger boob ( left one), the nipple very slightly faces out a bit and not as straight forward as my right nipple. Ofcourse my boyfriend tells me he can't even see the difference in the two and that they look great to him. So as long as he's being honest with me (hopefully so), then that gives me a bit of relief to hopefully think that only I can notice these small imperfections.

what I meant to say is maybe if I hadn't been using the scar gel; the scars would look much *worse*
