Mass underneath incision site

Today I woke up with a small mass near my left side incision site? Has anyone else encountered this? What did they do about it?

    I called the office today as I was extremely concerned. They said that as long as it wasn't red or leaking it would probably be a fluid bubble built up. Did it hurt you to move around in any way?

    It didn't hurt and in fact I only found it because I was trying to stop my belly from itching!
