See below: Most likely, it's just tissues healing. If it persists, see your doctor.

Healing: It could just be healing from the procedure. It could also be a skin reaction to the prep that was used to clean the surgical site prior to surgery. If there is an associated rash then it is probably a dermatitic reaction to the prep. This will pass.
