Can't see it.: A brief exam will give you yur answer. It could be any things both related and unrealted to your surgery. Best advice is to see your doctor in person.

Could be a suture: That was buried at the time of surgery and is now working its way to the surface. See your surgeon--easy to fix if that is the problem. Good luck.
