Sorry to hear about your problem. Sometimes the pustules which you are describing occur due to allergy to the dressing material. It is best to avoid any dressing over the scar if it has healed. Just apply some moisturising cream and these lesions will subside on their own. If there is any pus discharge, consult the surgeon and have him send a pus culture for the same.
Hoping for the best.
