Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If the lump is raised above the skin surface, it could be lipoma, sebaceous cyst or else.
Internal lump should be evaluated with an ultrasound for post operative inflammatory collection, developing hernia or others.
Wish you fine recovery and health.
Regards.
