What Causes Bruise Under Scar Post ACL Reconstructive Surgery?

Hello. I just had ACL reconstructive surgery about a month ago and I have a bruise under one of my scars. It is a little smaller than the size of a pencil and there isn t a bump where it is. Should I be worried or will it be ok? Should I go to my doctor or just leave it alone for now?

HI
Well come to HCM
If this is something happening at the wound side then this need to be taken seriously and better to go see the doctor, chances of collection of some fluid need to be ruled out this could be blood, pus, or anything blood product, hope this information helps, take care.
