Foreign body: You had hernia surgery 8 months ago and the stitches in the skin caused a reaction. Most stitches are absorbed within the first month. Talk to your surgeon for feedback. He/she will want to look at your incision and to inspect the hernia for repair. Hope this helps.

See your surgeon: Need to have the wound examined. Maybe an old hematoma drained. Need to rule out infection or infected mesh (if mesh was used).
