Scar tissue formed in incision from total hip replacement, june 8, 2022. has jusst now manifested itself and is very sore and turning red at the site. can infection form in scar tissue? the skin at the site is much warmer than skin around it?

If a surgical site is getting red and warm, it is worth getting it checked out to be sure that it is not getting infected. You should call the surgeon who did the surgery for evaluation. Good luck.
