Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is hard to tell by the picture but the area looks scabbed over and healing well. If you feel a bump underneath, it could be a knot from the suture that is under the skin layer. If there is no discharge, no heat around the area, and no swelling, I would just continue to monitor the area. Good luck and kisses to Zoii!
