The surgical incision should have healed by now. This sounds like the incision isn’t fully healed. I do recommend a recheck with your veterinarian to make sure this is normal. There may be a mild infection causing this not to heal as quickly as expected. I don’t think this is a serious problem but would get it checked out.
