What Causes Lump And Pain Near Scar After Appendix Removal?
I had my appendix removed 10years ago. My right right by the scar is very sensitive to the touch, it feels like a really bad bruise I had to check to make sure it wasn't a bruise. But. I noticed that there's like a lump right by the scar that was never there before. My side pain is moderate, I can deal with it but I'm worried it might be something serious. Can you please help me?

Hi,
You have history of appendisectomy,in which incision is taken on abdomen,incision on abdomen may tends to get weaken and incisional hernia can develop,like you can feel mass while coughing or straing near incision,I recommend you to take an surgeons opinion for this.
