What Could Be Cause Of Pain And Bulge On Skin After A Graft?

Hello doctor , I had a skin graft on my upper right thigh and part of lower right abdomen around 25 years back. I found a bulge on the grafted part. The skin has become loose and soft. It pains while walking, when I sit and when I try to stand up. What could be the exact reason? What should I do?
