Scar tissue?

 On one of my incisions I have noticed on one end a bump underneath the scar. It doesn't hurt but it's like the size of the tip of a finer. When touched it seems a little soft and moveable. I believe it's scar tissue..but am a little worried. I don't have this issue with any other scar. 
I am not sure how far out you are but your body could be developing scar tissue. It might be a small pocket fluid in the tissue just below the surface. For your peace of mind I would contact your physician's office.

My scars were lumpy early on, but they are normal now. Don't worry about it unless you start getting imflammation.

I have something like that and it feels like a pea under my skin. My surgeon told me it is scar tissue and that he could remove it but recommended I have it removed when I have my lbl (which I wanted to do but my plastic surgeon forgot to remove it, dang it!!).
