No. It could be a small blood clot. Do sitz baths three times a day and let your surgeon evaluate the area.

Your healing process has not failed but may not be normal because you have what is called granulation tissue that is probably a little bit more and may heal with some prominence of the scar. Sitz bath and good hygiene would help reduce chances of infection and it is important to follow up with your doctor. Increase healthy oil, water and fiber in your diet to improve easy bowel movement.
