Recurrent hernia: One thing i would be worried about is a recurrent hernia. The other possibility is an enlarged lymph node. A good physical exam with your doctor may be able to distinguish between the two, other wise you might need a ct scan or an ultrasound.

Surgeon check up: Have your surgeon check this. It could be a cyst, slight hernia.Retained suture, or early abscess or boil.
