Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
No, this is probably just fibrosis or granuloma and this is common in this area especially after surgery. It should not be removed unless there is growing and pain.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
