Should one of my Lap incisions be itchy and red?

I had Lap on Nov. 7, 2002 and have done great. So far I have lost about 28 lbs. I noticed one of the small incisions is itching. Now it is red. I have been putting anti-itch cream on it but it still itches. I don't have a temperature. Could it be an infection? I had itching in the hospital and thought that was the healing process. I would consider this part of the process if it wasn't red. Any ideas?
