Skin Hardening at the site of one of my incisions

Today it will be 4 weeks since I had the surgery and last night I noticed at one of the incisions a hardening knot when I touch it, the others don't feel like that, I don't go to see the Surgeon again until 07/01 wondering if I should be concerned?

I have had this with incision sites with another surgery (laproscopic ACL). I was told it was just a reaction to the dissolvable internal stitches. I was told to take a good moisturizer, rub the incision sites to keep things soft and break up any adhesions. I would do that twice a day. It only takes a couple of minutes.

I have had that too, not to worry. It is quite common.

If it drains pus or get warm to touch, call the doctor.

I have one too at the site where they pulled the stomach out. I will start massaging it if that helps...
