A member asked:
Hard pea size rubbery lump beside my old hernia area (repair 7 months ago). what is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgical evaluation: This could be a suture granuloma (inflammation around a foreign body such as a suture), a recurrence of the hernia, or a lymph node. Especially if it hurts, you need to be evaluated by your surgeon.
