Hi! thanks for writing to us sharing the problem of recurrent annoying scar!

After going through your history and description of the enlarging lump, I would like to consider few possibilities in this case as per my experience of needle biopsies as following:

1. infected wound

2. suture granulomas

3. atypical tuberculosis infection

4. actinomycosis or other fungal infections

5. low grade malignancy

6. scar endometriosis

Therefore, you need ultrasound and needle biopsy or excision biopsy from the lump for a diagnosis and you might see another surgeon to discuss the possible line of treatment.

regards,
