See your doctor: This cannot be answered without being in front of a physician. I recommend you contact your surgeon, plastic surgeon or oncologist so they can examine you and evaluate you appropriately. This can be anything ranging from infection to cancer. Please get checked out.

Time dependent: If these are happening soon after the surgery, it may have something to do with the body absorbing sutures. If the surgery was a while ago, then it may be areas of abscess, usually from oil glands that cannot drain. It is something that most surgeons would want to see, especially when it is happening.
