See the doctor, : To be sure. You did not mentioned whether your surgery was laparoscopic (" key holes") or an open one, with a wider excision. In any case, the sensations you are describing might be related to surgery and sutures and you will be better off having it checked.

Laparoscopic Gallbladder surgery 4 weeks ago. The top incision on the right side was itching today, instead of scratching it I lightly rubbed it. I felt a gush/pop and then burning. Now very sore to the lightest touch. Is this normal or a concern?
My Laparoscopic surgery report (for a gallbladder removal due to a gallstone) has shown "non-eventful recovery and liver is normal". Just a little curious, can a surgeon actually get to see the liver when removing the gallbladder using laparoscopy?
