Hi,
Well, it sounds to me like possible aeroma or an asbcess. If this is not painful then here is no need to see doctor and this will disappear in time. If this is red and painful, I suggest to see surgeon since small procedure may be required.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
