Had a laparascopy two months ago and scar on my bikini line is still very red?

Likely: Local irritation from clothes rubbing on the site. Can try an over the counter scar ointment or silicone pad like Mederma or neosporin scar. Also can follow up with your surgeon to examine the healing.

Wait: Scars generally take 6-12 months to fully mature. A red scar at two months is normal. It will improve with time. Use of a topical preparation like Mederma may hasten its maturation.
