Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that this can be due to damage to cutaneous nerve due to irritation or incision of surgery. I would recommend you to show it to your operating surgeon though at present it looks to be a non serious issue.
Do not rub that site or apply any thing. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
