Depends: Which of the incisions is involved? Need to see your surgeon. Could be a suture reaction, late wound infection is uncommon, very rare to have retained gskkstone under the skin, etc. Needs evaluation with your surgeon.

Granuloma / cyst: Could be related to a retained suture or a small collection of fluid. You should see your surgeon to have that evaluated. Can't walk around forever with an open wound.
