Pus from scar

I bent down fast today, and i felt a weird feeling, a bit like if my stitch was tearing, but it didnt, and now there is a bit of pus coming out of my scar area. What should i do?? Tlbc is just voicemail....do i leave a message, or would they only get it on monday, do i send email, do i go to ER(seems drastic).

It is on my right side, and its one of the smaller scars, and it definitely didnt rip. My scars are pretty healed, i think its past the point where they would rip anyways.

HI: Check for a stitch still in the incision. I had pus coming from my scar for weeks and finally went to doctor and he told me it was a stitch caught in the skin. I telephoned the clinic and Nancy said the same thing. So I felt around and sure enough felt a roughness. I got the tweezers and pulled. Put antiseptic on and no problems since. Do call the doctor though and confirm, don't wait incase it is something more serious. Doddie
