Inflammed: Hello, The inflamed area may not be related to the thyroidectomy since it has been over 5 years ago. The inflamed scar region should be further evaluated.

See endocrinologist!: Hi. With a history of thyroid cancer, you need to see an endocrinologist, have your thyroglobulin checked, and probably get a neck ultrasound. Please don't ignore this! Get in to see your endocrinologist soon! Good luck!
